Which motor power rating would you > recommend for a desktop mill? I have used some 22 W (continuous) motors on Taig and 150 Lb micro-mills with surprisingly good results. I did have to use a 4:1 belt reduction to the 16 TPI screws of the micro-mill, I hooked them directly to the 20 TPI screws of the Taig, and it just barely worked.
These are low-speed, high-torque motors, 2700 RPM, 4 Kg-cm peak, .8 Kg-cm Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
