I did search before thank you very much and have had the PDF file that the first poster sent for quite a while but dismissed it because of the last 4 characters in the model number, but I still thanked the poster for the help and it was appreciated. I did not post before I tried searching myself but was looking for information I could have and would have missed as I am not an engineer, I know noting about motors or torque and such like I was here asking for help, which was appreciated, not to be ridiculed for being a lazy person and just getting other people to do the searches for me.
Apologies if this is the wrong way of taking the other comments but I do normally try to help myself first before asking for help, I will know better next time.

No offence intended, it just occurred to me that a pattern seems to be developing and I wanted to understand why.
On this and other similar forums I've noticed over a period of several years that the nature of questions has changed.
My own view is that more people are now coming into the cnc field with less of an engineering background than before.
Also from my own experience I'm seeing that younger people, if not given the information, are not so proficient at finding
that information for themselves as older people are. I don't have a good feel for where the young/old cross over age is but
I'm thinking it's a higher number than one would anticipate.Last edited by EddyCurrent; 20-01-2018 at 04:33 PM.
Spelling mistakes are not intentional, I only seem to see them some time after I've posted

That could be because it is not on the curriculum in schools anymore.
A pattern has been on this and on other forums for a good many years (how could he / she dare to ask how to do something)
I am a firm believer that Google can be your friend for something's and your worst enemy for others and is always my first port of call, but there is nothing to compare on Google with the hands on experience that the years of work that Eddy, Nick and others have, what is the problem in asking anyone a fair question, some might be a stupid question but a reply does not have to be, it take the same amount of time and effort to reply with the best help you know and the OP goes away happy and gets on with learning from that helpful information, instead of getting berated just for asking.
When I first came into cnc many years ago I was given the right information that I did not know or understand by some very helpful people on this forum and enabled me to go forward and if I can help others in return I do so without question or reward.
