Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Hobby CNC Plans for a UK Build

Hi Kev,

Don't go near those steppers, they are too small for anything other than
running the printer it looks like they came off. You don't often see
steppers of the size you need this side of the pond. I've bought all of mine
from the States where they are so cheap that it is worth paying the Tax and
Postage.

Try www.ebay.com and look for stepper motors or if you want guaranteed
motors and service use Camtronics on http://www.seanet.com/~dmauch/

These are just two of the places I've bought from with no trouble or strife,
there are many more.

Regards,

Terry
