Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 187 oz-in steppers for 34.95?

Kevin,
A few months ago, i bought 3 x 305 oz-in Vexta's new in the box for $90 on Ebay.Just gotta watch who you deal with.
So I think you should keep looking around.
I know, you are probably saying to yourself that you only need around 187 oz-in, but better to have too much than too little IMO.

Regards,
Jim

here www.herbach.com for only 34.95 each!!!! I guess I'll order 3
seeing as that they should work just fine. Very cheap price or am I
missing something here? Thanks all for the info.
