Conect lathe stepper motor ID

1.8 I'd guess is step angle, which equates to the normal standard of 200 steps per revolution suggested by Irving above.

My Conect is a beige one, and used different motors, however I think the controls were pretty similar, so I'd doubt they would change the motor specs too much between the versions. The motor details for mine are in the first couple posts at http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/mills-...ion-grows.html

Yes but the 200 is the number of steps, so I'm guessing the 1.8 could be the coil resistance, 1.8Ohm which would make it 1.7A in bipolar, 0.8-1A unipolar... anyway any current 2A+ driver will do the job. Wire it bipolar, set it at 1A to start, run the motor back and forth for 10min or so, check the case temp... then gradually increase up to 1.7A, stopping if the motor appears to be getting too hot (>75/80degC).

I'm with John on this for the sake of £60 dump them.! Then all the guess work is taken away and you have modern motors and when matched to modern drives will transform the machine.
