Kos is definitely one of the people on here who I always think is younger than he actually is.

And still useless at maths. Or was that a typo?

This thread reminds me that I need to grab some spares for my MIG. It's been years since I've welded, but I was doing okay at the time.

There's definitely a typo in one of the messages. Unless time is measured differently in Scottish

Got my stepper motors today. Don't have the proper drivers yet so only running them at 750mA (instead of 4.5A) but even at that piddly current I can't stall them by hand. Well impressed.
CNC4You Nema 23 3.1Nm stepper motors:

The stepper motors are for controlling the movements along the axes?
Have you bought a router for it yet?

Yup, steppers for x, y and z axis. Would have made more sense to get a smaller one for the z, but the three were together in bundle for a nice price.
The cutting head is going to be kind of modular. Probably start with one of my face dremels and upgrade as I learn more about how to use it. I'd love one of those 3kW water cooled spindles on aliexpress. Or a plasma cutter!
