[CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stepper Motor for Mini-Mill

on 2002-11-06 12:51:33 UTC
I'm still trying to figure out what size stepper motors to use for a Homier Mini-Mill. I looked at message 45509 but I'm not sure what is meant by "push" The first calculation is Watts = IPM * Lbs / 531 where the Lbs represents the pounds to "push".

And is there anyone here that has a Mini-mill that could tell me what steppers you are using.

I'm guessing I need NEMA 34's, but am not sure of the torque required.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks
