Sven, that is good news. Good to hear that the motors are good - I would have gone for way bigger motors but then, the 6.4 Nm steppers on my gigantic mill are very strong (my scales stop at 130 kg, the motors did not ...). And I was the one thinking your motors were way too small for the job - Oh boy, was I wrong... Having solved this problem you can now go ahead and fine-tune your EMC settings ;-)
I am now convinced that the motors on my mill don't have to be that big and am going to buy similar small motors - at least one to start with. Only thing to do is to find out what extra cards to buy on top of my 5i20 from Mesa and then I can start playing. I'd love to see some extra info on your machine. Some photos and a small description with approximate weights and thread pitch would be great.
