I am planning to build a cnc plasma cutter/router and i am in need of 3 new great quality but cheap motors, yes i know the two usually don't go hand in hand. i have scanned for hours online for the best bang for the buck when it comes to stepper motors. I am looking for around 1200oz/inches of torque I found these sites to be the best so far:

Do you know of any other deals out there? Does anyone know if these websites sell good quality motors?
thanks

Check out MotionKing, China.
I've purchased quite a few motors from them in the past with no problems at all. Excellent quality and very cheap.

After your motor research, check out ebay. There are a variety of new stepper motors always available.

1200ozin = nearly 8Nm - thats a massive motor for a CNC plasma cutter, are you sure you need them this big?

I agree. You won't need much cutting force. You WILL probably want the rapid speed of smaller motors.

But, you can't choose motors until you know what driver/power supply you will be using. The motors need to match these as closely as possible.

Looks like aaronwelder is building a combo, of a plasma & a router on the same table?
