Re: Re: Hobby CNC Plans for a UK Build

Kev,
Have a look at http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/
He carries a range of modern brand new cheap steppers.
I have bought off ebay in the past but I found you were getting old hat technology for 3/4 the price of new.
The last 34 motor I bought off ebay wasn't as powerful as the new 23's
I have bougt and used some of the ArcEuro motors and they are very good for the price.
That triple stack type 23 one is rated at 311 oz/in
