Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Makino CNC mill

Thanks Jon and Bob on the feedback. You are right, it's a fairly big
machine, and servos would be the best choice. Now I'll have to do some maths
to get the proper motor size then search for the motors. Busy weekends ahead

and are fitted with hydraulic pulse motors. This is the first time I've
heared about these motors. Could anyone guide me where to find info on those
motors. If it's too much hassle to fix and operate those motors then these
can be replaced with steppers or servos.
