RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Trying to figure out what I have

Jeff,

That is a stepper. If you just want to get it running for an economical
price and are not worried about the max feedrates and machining speeds,
then just get yourself 3 Gecko G201 or G210 drives, a breakout board
like Dan at Camtronics offers, and a 15 - 20 amp 70 vdc or so power
supply. Connect the motors as half coil and machine away.
