I’m investigating adding a Z axis power drive to my Precision Matthews PM30-MV mill.
I was looking into motors, and had some questions regarding what type of motor to go with.
Based on people that convert to CNC, it looks like I can get away with a motor rated at 900oz per inch or greater. So I was investigating a Nema 32 stepper such as this, or a geared DC motor like this. My working knowledge of these motors is pretty little.
I don’t have any plans to CNC, but are there any advantages to the stepper motor? Any tips from somebody that has been down this road?
I may want to do something similar for the X axis.
Thanks!
