NordicCNC's build log

Yes exactly for that reason! The machines I build mostly go to MEN in SHEDS type users or small business where the speed or high resolutions etc servos offer isn't needed. Reliability and simplicity are more desirable than speed for these users. Also from my point of view it also means less work and happy customers.

A good properly sized and tuned closed loop system is more than good enough for most builds and far simpler.

Glad to hear this actually. Of course it is nice with speed and the non-existent noise! Who would not want 20m/min if they could have it. Anyway 10-15m/min will probably be enough for most small businesses and hobbyist (like me) as you said. I will let this thought about steppers sink for a while before I make any decision. The design is still not finalized anyway so no need to rush things.

You said you are using Lichuan 8Nm 230Vac for the build with the ATC spindle and that you use Lichuan closed loop system nowadays for your build. I checked aliexpress and they are all either 2 phase or 3 phase. So they work with a 3 phase output but uses only 230V? I did not find any 8Nm steppers, but I found this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3279...52606833P16XMw

I use a local supplier.

Okay, I will research area more. I read somewhere that GT2 is supposed to be really good quality compared to the commonly used HTD 5.
