Problem - Cybernetic Applications CNC Mill

[createspacelondon]

They look like rather generic type 23 steppers. Almost certainly 200 steps per rev. How many wires do they have? I have a Denford Novamill of about the same vintage with the original motors and they work just fine with modern bipolar drivers and Mach 3. More important will be whether the drivers and any breakout board are compatible with Mach and a parallel port.

thanks for getting back to us. there are 4 wires to each motor. We have gone for these drivers and bresak out board:

We think they should work mach3. 200 steps is a good start tho, thanks.
