I'm using the 2M542 driver brick, set at the motors top amps which is for the motor wired series (they are 8 wire motors) of about 2.9 amps. Voltage on the lathe is unregulated, about 38 or 39 volts, and 28 volts regulated on the mill. These motors were originally from xylotek as part of a 3 or 4 motor kit (i bought a 3 first, with 252oz motors, then a 4 pack with 425 oz motors, but the xylotex boards have long since smoked even if they weren't old enough. I haven't measured working force on the lathe yet with its new ball screw in the Z, but the redesigned Z axis on the mill can push the bathroom scales to 155 lbs, so drilling a hole is definitely not a problem.
