RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: operating temp of stepper motors

The real question is what are they rated at volts & amps and what are
you running them at volts and amps.

If you haven't yet read it, you need to read Mariss's stepper white
paper. The section on motor heating is at:
http://www.geckodrive.com/ycom/documents/C163R17_motor_heating.pdf

It will turn you into an expert on the subject.
