    4x 5.6N.m nema34 motors and drivers with power supply and controller for about 500EUR.
    Inductance is 4.1 nH.
    I have an old Dell pc with a parallel port which I was planning to use for this.I have similar Nema24 kit from ebay installed on my first learning machine and it worked well. Wish I knew about motor inductance then tho :p

    So I guess that those motors would be enough for this purpose? Should I go for Nema24?

    I was also considering Lichuan Nema34 3Phase 220V 10N.m LC86H3129+LCDA2260H Closed loop steppper motor & drive from Ebay:
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/17406540143...sAAOSwRmldpWft.
    But is that overkill for rotating nut? They are pricy but were recommended by JAZZ in my other thread and elsewhere on forum. Also,I guess I wouldn't need such powerful motor for Z (it will be also belt driven 1:1, if not suggested otherwise).
    I am open for suggestions.

    First off. If JAZZ recommends, you're best off following it.

    Secondly. If you're happy with the old Dell and Mach3 then go for it. I use the same combo at present on WinXP and it's been fault free.
    However: It depends on how many I/O you will need for the servo type drives to use their switch inputs / fault outputs / encoders, etc. I'm switching to UCCNC, UC300eth, UCBB, because of the servo I plan to put on my mill spindle.
    There are options of connecting servo drive fault outputs to isolation boards and daisy chaining the outputs from those into a single bob input. Or things like that.

    Finally. I have 1080oz nema34 with 4.2mH ind using 60vdc on my mill Z. I had them all round to start with and it was crap. Resonance central. Swapped x,y, for nema24 566oz and kept them at 60v. The nema24 hit 600rpm easy. The Nema34 only just hits 450rpm without issue. Upping it to 80vdc when all my new wiring box is complete.

    Your 878oz linked will be poor on 48vdc, better on 60vdc, maybe get nearer where you want on 80+vdc. By the time you swap drivers and up the voltage you may as well have gone straight for the 220v Lichuan anyway.
