Hey Hoss

I was looking at the RF-45 page on your web site.
Concerning the spreadsheet. Are the mills listed
in any order? The reason I'm asking, I
ordered the Precision Mathews 45M.

Gods Speed,

Hello Hoss!

What size motor would suggest for 'Z'
on a RF45 clone? Will a Nema 34 1200 oz-in
work or should I look at the 42 class of motors?

BTW: Is there a formula I can use to answer this
question?

The 1200 is what I would use if I went with steppers.
Check out this chart from Novakon that shows what a lot of the bigger mills are using,
note that Tormach only uses a 650 oz/in.laugh

Thanks Hoss!

Looks like Tormach got slammed for using
650 oz-in.

I was thinking around 800 oz-in
for X/Y and 1800 oz-in for Z.

If you think 1200 oz-in will work for Z that
will save a few bucks.cheers
