Hi Jazz

I'm not going to get into a wet fish slapping contest here with you. Steppersonline are cheaper. I checked the shipping costs again and you were right. Unfortunately the first motors listed only had a 6.35mm shaft They only had 2 of the second motors stocked and they are nema 24 not 23 Steppers online seem to vary with their shipping rates as to exactly which motor you choose as to where it comes from. As it happens Sorotec sent me the motors and some other bits at no extra costs separately to the main machine eventhough I had informed them that I would gladly pay the added postage as I wanted to get the control box finished before the main frame arrived. Shipping costs from sorotec for the 3 motors I got is Euros 6.90 To Austria. I did check this one out which seems smilar to the nanotec

But they don't have three in stock. Still it's a useful site to know for future reference. The steppersonline sets with 3 motors and power supply seem very good value too. Just out of interest are Japanese Stepper motors better than Chinese ones or is it pretty much irrelevant where they are produced ?

Cheers and thanks again for your help

delivery from China.
As it happens Sorotec sent me the motors and some wire and bits post free. As I said before I don't mind buying from sorotec the motors and I know then they will fit the machine and hopefully work ok. I
