Need help and motors, and quickly...

Greetings all,

After slamming my head against the wall for weeks now without any
success to speak of, I'm looking for replacement motors for my mill conversion.

I've spoken to many good people dealing with EMC, and spoken with
Mariss, with the end result of coming to the conclusion that Mariss is
correct, and I'd chosen possibly the worst motors possible for my project.

So, here I am, with a need to make this run *NOW*, and needing to replace my motors.

My setup is as follows -
Rong Fu RF-21 table top mill with 10 pitch
lead screw that will _later_ be changed to ballscrews.
(similar to this one -

Gecko 210s.
Power supply and computer are built and functioning.
I've even tried different programs (controllers).

Can someone advise me on recommendations
of known motor combinations to use with this setup?
I will be milling steel and aluminum, mostly aluminum.

I don't expect this to replace a Bridgeport, and know its limitations.
I just want motors that will let me *USE* the damn thing...

I will be overnighting these things in because I'm in
an emergency situation here, and need it working _now_.
Thanks for any advice.

Best,

Weyland
