    Torque of 5 1/4 FH Drive Steppers?

    Can anyone tell me the torque of the steppers found in the full height 5 1/4 floppy drives from an old IBM PC or compatible? I'm looking to use these for my first 3-axis router but want to know how small I'll have to make the router. TIA.

    Someone said they were 20in-oz, I believe. I have a bunch and they are very weak, but will probably be useable if you have a very low friction system and don't mind moving VERY slowly.
