Im thinking of using a 2 to 1 belt drive with the existing screws, and i heard someone say you need around 4.5nm of torque.

    The only 4.5nm ones ive found at Nema34

    On my router ive used these which are Nema24

    If anyone can give me a idea of the required stepper size that would be great.

    Thanks

    Trev I have converted the WM18 to CNC I used nema23 from cnc4you BUT is used ball screws not the original lead screws.

    I geared the screws down 2:1 with belts.
