I read up on stepper motors. I guess I learned just enough to be dangerous. (not funny). I want to add a power cross feed to my Jet 9X20 lathe. So after reading and learningwhat little I did I went to flea bay and became totally lost on page one.
What do I need to accomplish my goal? Bipolar? Unipolar? Do I need the Drive unit or just a 12 volt power supply. What are the 6 wires needed fo on the 6 pole plugs. I've seen them with only 4.
Ultimate goal is variable speed plus forward and Reverse with a neutral position. I want to use the slide manually also.
Am I peein against the wind here or is this feasable?

first of all you don't want any power cross feed on a lathe whatsoever. the next thing is that when dealing with crossfeed on a lathe is first of all what are you hearing? If a lathe makes alot of noise...what's the first thing you do?
