    Pulling my hair out trying to identify NEMA motor size

    Hi All,
    I'm building a CNC plasma table out of re-purposed linear rails:
    http://www.cnczone.com/forums/plasma...tml#post951368


    Above is what it looks like together (my Z), problem is its a servo+planetary and swapping out to steppers(with or without planetary?) (cost reduction). I've been trying to figure out what size these are as I can't find any NEMA spec to match? Are these just straight up metric pieces? Please help...
