Yes they are wired in parallel. The mounting hole spacing is 1 7/8 inches. the motors are 2 1/4 dia. If you have any idea about the torque of these motors let...
You said that you cut your granddaughters name in something and I was wondering how you go about getting the set of G-codes to do that. I would like to do...
Wow, thanks Bill. I am going to have to try this out. Now I just gotta get the Y axis setup,..... and then the Z axis. Oh no, I got a lot of work to do. I'm...
I agree with Bill. One thing to watch in converting CAD dxf files to G-code with a converter- It will generate the G-code to cut in the same order you drew...
Ron, thanks for the introductory course in G-codes. I understand all of the X and Y moves etc. but I did not understand the "modal" thing until you described...

Thanks Ron, for the tutorial. I will ask more questions when I figure out what I don't know.!??? I have included a picture of the stepper end panels I have...
Sorry Glen, I wasn't able to find anything on this motors. At least you have the volts and amps for driving them. Ron Thompson Was On the Beautiful Mississippi...
Ron , the wattage of these motors are 4.37 (volts x amps). Just for comparison, what is the wattage of the motors that you are using, and what is their torque...
My X axis is 5V 1A = 5W and is 53 oz/in holding torque nema 23 (2.3" diameter body) 200 steps per rev, eight wire My Y axis 5.1V 1A = 5.1W 59.7 oz/in nema 23...
Glad you guys took this discussion to the metalheads group... good and easy to follow it here. On steppers and watts and such.... I have used the 5v 1A...
Hi Bill, and Ron, Do you know anything about why the motors work better with the dropping resistor? I could probably use a 48v supply with a 120 ohm, 10 watt...
... Glenn, I know little about this but I think that the higher voltages with a dropping resistor have something to do with the inductance of the motor. The...
Hmmm... I have a somewhat different take on dropping resistors. Kinda sorta like whet you said about kicking them hard before the counter emf builds up. Maybe...
I am a member of Cad_cam_dro, diy-cnc and sherlinecnc. The last is almost useless so far. It should be renamed Vector sales group. DIY-CNC is the most idea...
