    How much torque

    is need for a mini Vertical mill, should it be geared down? Is 130 in oz enough with a 2 to 1 gear ratio? I want it to have enough power to hog out steel.
    Thank You,

    Check out Paul's post in this thread. He details how to calculate the "unit horsepower" for various materials:

    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.
