axeminster micromill stepper motors??

[dickieto]

I think they are under powered, on ine I used Arc euro 180Ncm on the x & y axis but ended with 3Ncm on the z axis and that is with all ball screws! I expect using the original screws you get some mechanical advantage but from my original searches most people fitted at least 200Ncm motors some even geared down using pulleys.

hi peter
what kind of material do you mill,and are you happy with your set up.
does it handle alloy ok for small model parts?
if so could you let me know what drivers,motors etc you have?
is there anything you would change???
i'll think of more questions later:naughty:
