    will these stepper mtrs work?

    This is my first DIY CNC so I want to try to get it right the first time. Can anyone tell me if my stepper motors are any good for my project? (VEXTA E1.2-C19) I’m building a 42” x 42” aluminum frame CNC. I’m going to cut mostly wood but occasionally aluminum. I can’t find very much info on them. Also how does motor oz. play a part in the design? Thx.

    Have a look at a tutorial I wrote here

    Unfortunately no one can advise on those motors because you don't have the full part # it should be something like PH266-e1.2-C19, but the bit you have given suggests these are very old 8-wire bipolar motors, and the VEXTA ones with the E1.2 designation were typically sub-1Nm (<140oz-in). Without more info its impossible to say for sure, but my guess would be that they aren't suitable for the size of your build.
    If you're in Europe why not come and visit the UK CNC Community at http://www.mycncuk.com
