Stepper motor selection, lower inductance vs holding torque

[JAZZCNC]

Yes go with smaller motors and the lower inductance for this machine if you have no intentions of reusing the motors on larger machine.
In general smaller motors spin faster due to lower inductance and lower rotor inertia.

If you plan on re-using then No you'll probably be better with 3.1Nm and lowest inductance you can find.

In both cases Go with 8 wire motors and wire parallel.

Great, I've got no need to upgrade at the moment but it's food for thought. Definitely going the 8 wire parallel route.

Thanks Jazz
