AH crap! I wrote a reply on Friday, never posted it.

Robin, thank you very much for taking the time to explain the calcs involved. It is very handy to know.

Ok, so I can calculate what minimum size motor I need, but is there really a problem with going to BEEEG (12Nm) motors? I am just sold on the idea of doing a conversion on this machine, but migrating everything over to a new table at a later stage. If I get them boys big enough, I can do what I want at a later stage. Ofc I will be matching them with the right drive and power. I am sure Gary will help me with that ;)
