View Full Version : What steppers for mini lathe Brass_Machine 10-23-2007, 03:50 PM So I have started to acquire some of the funds to convert my HF 7x mini lathe. I downloaded the plans from http://jfettigmachines.com/ So what size steppers should I use for these plans? Thanks jhowelb 10-23-2007, 06:02 PM FROM THE PDF FILE PROVIDED ON THE WEB SITE. The motion equipment that I suggest are stepper motors from Automationdirect.com or any other Nema 23 Stepper motors near or greater than 200oz-in. There are a wide variety of drives that could be used. The top quality drives are Gecko Drives which are about $114 per motor. Xylotex has a 3 axis board that will work good with this kit as well.
