How to figure needed stepper motor size?
I am currently in the process of building a 3 axis router with approx a 32" x 48" x 6" cutting area. MDF based with a little aluminum bracing, threaded rod for screws, basically a cheap machine. What I am have a problem with is deciding which size stepper motor I should be looking to buy to give me adequate performance. I was looking at a 3 axis kit with 116 oz steppers, but don't know what kind of speed I can expect. I am not looking for blazing performance, just dont want to listen to my PC laminate trimmer scream forever if i dont have to. Any suggestions?
