Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Best source for Servo's ??

Apart from Ebay, http://www.surpluscenter.com/ have some motors that
work well on a Bridgeport size mill or larger router. Look for items
10-1783 or 10-1573. Item 10-1573 has a longer shaft sticking out the
back for an encoder. If you grind the shaft down a bit then the encoder
off of item 10-1834 can be made to fit. They also do a number of smaller
servo motors.

Pretty much any permanent magent DC motor can be made into a servo motor
with the addition of an encoder. It won't have the same acceleration and
smoothness as a proper servo motor but in practise they still work well.
