Hello everybody:
After a long hiatus, I am able to work again on my CNC project!
I Bought the Gecko G540 with 3 steppers kit from CNC Router Parts, but now I want to change my design to use two steppers in the X axis. Buying another identical stepper from CNC Router Parts could take much time and be more expensive than I can afford right now (I live in Peru, shipping + taxes can be expensive). But I found a couple of steppers from old copy machines and believe I could use one of them for the Z axis because (please correct me if I am wrong) it doesn't need as much torque as X or Y.
The problem is I am not able to find the torque specifications of these steppers. I hope somebody can recognize them or tell me if it could be ok to go with one of them.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gonzalo
