Thanks for sharing your experience. I sure don't want that to happen with this beast

I totally agree with the penny wise pound foolish thought especially with these heavy machines. The one thought that keeps coming back though is that 100W is a huge amount of energy. It seems that the vendors are finally supplying motors that work within the recommended specs for the G250 drivers, so maybe it will work. Worst case I can transfer the setup over to the 11x26 lathe and get that running
