    Why not 75-80V drivers ...you'll get a decent improvement but it could have been a lot more with the higher voltage.

    Aluminium certainly doesn't need high feeds, but most plastics are easily cut at a pretty high feedrate. I've cut acetal at 5m/min which isn't hanging about!

    i was tempted but my machine is a small dumpy little thing (500mmx400mm ish cut) iv taken the punt in hope of bringing the noise down a bit when running it for hours (in a shared house)
    the steppers make more noise (when they hit the resonance) than the spindle cutting acetal at 300mm
    iv got to tiptoe between noise and speed :)

    I've cut acetal at 5m/min which isn't hanging about!
    shit! id make millions if i could run at that :)
