Thor, or should that be Zeus?

Interesting, thanks.

I was only using Torch as an example really but those feed specs are interesting, any idea of the spindle HP rating? It's obviously designed for normal mill usage - bigger tooling, more cut depth, more radial cut depth so I guess 2800mm/min would be in that area.

I guess you will be running fairly high power motors to gain decent acceleration in small distances or it may never reach your high feeds??

Following your build with interest.

The motors spec were in the first post. 1.5 KW servo for Y, 750W for X and Z.

Spindle power will likely be around 4 KW / 5 HP.

One of the goals of this machine is to be able to run this all from single phase, 32A supply.

The higher feeds allow for more creative milling techniques like Adaptive clearing. Having good speed and acceleration opens the machine up for more uses and will hopefully reduce the typical times currently experienced with my Denford.
