    Virtually any modern square stepper will benefit from running at higher voltage.

    When we did the X3 CNC conversion back in 2005 we used 2.2Nm, as these were the best we could get at the time and ran them at 72 volts using the 888 drivers set to 2.5 amps.

    Real over kill but never had one driver go pop, didn't need a fan either as they never even got warm

    What is needed is a source of the high voltage drivers at a reasonable price.
