    How Much Torque do you Really Need?

    I have a X2 Mini mill that i am going to CNC. I have 495oz-in steppers for X, Y, and Z and it seems that most people that do the X2 conversion use these steppers with no problem but is that overkill?

    I am also working on designing a trunnion table and steppers for that and i need one of the steppers for the 5 axis to be somewhat low profile. i found a low profile stepper that runs 110 oz-in.... is that enough?

    Thanks
    Mike

    I'm using 280 oz-in motors on all axes of my SX3. I have all 3 axes set to 100 ipm, but the x and y can do 160-200 ipm reliable.

    Can't comment on the trunnion table motor without knowing the reduction ratio you will be using on it.
