OK, I think I'm starting to get this. If I'm going to go with a bipolar motor, I should use a bipolar controler. This sounds very simplistic now that I write it, but I now realize that bipolar motors can only have 4 wires.
Looking at the specs in general, I'm seeing that unipolar motors are producing more torque for the amps. For instance a 185 oz-in 6 wire 1Amp produces the same torque as a 185 oz-in 4 wire 2Amp.
So, is it better to us bipolar or unipolar (I know is far to general of a question)?
I know if I stick with the stock lead screws, I going to want more speed and torque.
Thanks

I'll post pics of some of the modifications I've made to my mill shortly. |
