I'm sure it's useful.....stick a load on it...and you can determine how useful.

i don't want to buy it and find out that i can't use it. i'm looking at converting a RF-31 clone

Well, now that they have updated their web site to include max voltage of 60V, I ordered the last two for my lathe! Based on my spreadsheet info gathered from Marris, they should do fantastic.

Hope you got some as they should do a mill very well.

Okay and which website was that??

i had found these motors on surpluscenter.com apparently so did alot of other people after i posted this. originally there were 32 motors. i was going to buy some but i already have some smaller motors that my drives are setup for and i really can't afford to switch mid stream and start over. this is my first cnc mill build and i will eventually build a square column version to replace this one. until then i won't need the bigger motors and i'm some more will come along sooner or later.
