Superior Electric Steppers

[JAZZCNC]

Sorry to keep harping on about closed loop, but what do you think about using the Leadshine Nema23 kits?

The 2Nm won't be enough IMO.

This machine sounds too nice to be skimping on motor so don't spoil it just for sake of feature that won't give anything more than well setup Stepper would.

For me it would boil down to 2 options. Conventional steppers with Good drives like AM/EM or Servos. Wouldn't waste money on Closed loop Steppers.

I certainly don't want to "spoil the ship for a ha'p'orth of tar". Ironically, that's why I was thinking of closed loop. My initial thoughts were to fit Leadshine Nema34 4Nm hybrid servos, but they are only available from China - or at twice the price from the UK. Of course, I'd love to spend hundreds on quality servos, but as a first foray into CNC I need to keep the costs down.
