Re: Plans for dirt cheap etcher?

I've started to scrounge up parts finally. I have gathered 2 HP
printers, and an Apex flat bed scanner. Out of these I've collected 5
steppers, some rods, a few cogged belts, a BUNCH of optical switches,
and a handful of other odds and ends. I found the data sheets on the
steppers, but I don't understande the torque charts. Can someone help
me? Here are the links: M42SP-4
