Forget mild steel, that machine is too flimsy and spindle too weak to do more than scratch the surface. It'll struggle with any serious hardwoods but will probably manage mdf and ply ok and might be good for PCB routing. Watch the YouTube videos, it's struggling with mdf and feed rates are like watching paint dry. What are you planning to make that fits in such a small work area?
NEMA 23 3Nm low inductance motors (4mH or lower) - not because this machine needs them, but because they'll be reusable on the next one which is properly designed to meet your needs.Last edited by irving2008; 30-10-2014 at 12:22 AM.
