What size steppers for Grizzly mini mill?
Hey folks, I have heard different stories about what sized motors are sufficient for the mini mill. I am building the parts for the ballscrew conversion now and i'd like to buy some steppers soon so I can get to building the power supply.
What size motors are needed for the mini mill? I see a lot of guys using 300+ Oz motors and I see others using 200 Oz motors. I do most of my work in brass and aluminum but I need to be able to cut steel from time to time. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I'm in the spring hill area as well
Yes it is a small world. I have been reading here looking for info on a purchase I will be making Saturday with luck for a combo machine that I would like to convert. I have a nice shop area but it still getting set-up. I have no real tooling or well anything at this point and would like a local person to help point out some suppliers. A local machine shop has taken 3 weeks to do a solid shaft with 3 steps 3 key slots and threaded ends. Time for my own equipment.
