Re: driving a router

I have 160 Oz in motors through 5/8"-5 ball screws. This gives me
about 150 IPM rapid rates and pretty good cutting performance at 50
IPM. I would much rather have 300~400 oz in motors to gain top-
speed cutting force though. 100 IPM is moving along pretty fast for
cutting but certainly not too fast. When cutting hardwoods 100 IPM
with a 3/4" cutter at 1" deep is pushing it.
