I agree and will probably get the 12Nm one

As i will need a new motor to finish the Y axis project its not a problem buying a new one Martin,

Its a typo, 1204 oz.in = 8.5 Nm

Thats a valid point, thanks

PS lookingvat his vid again i think he uses THIS Nema 34.  Not sure why it costs more tho

I have but he does not say which Nema 34 he used, so i asked the question, thanks. I also contacted the company he got the kit from but as yet no reply

PS, i found my old thread when i did the Z axis conversion and Joseph Noci 1 did suggest i may need a Nema 34

This is my Y axis project, i am using an old stepper for sizing etc

Ah right, i use stepperonline and they only go to 3Nm, hence why i thought 3 was the highest

However looking at that 4.5Nm stepper motor its going to make it more expensive going that route, about £120 with the driver. They also dont show what the torque curve is, i have emailed them tho

Its 3Nm and the highest Nm one in the 23 series

As i will one for the Y axis project, i will use the current Nema 23 for Y and a new one, probably a 34 for the Z

A bit more info.

I currently have a Nema 23 on the Z axis but it often stalls as higher speed so my thought were to replace the Z power feed with a Nema 34 and use the Nema 23 for the Y axis which is a project I am currently working on.

The power feed on the Ragain is you an X axis which is a lot easier to power than as Z axis as you say.

The WM18 already has a gas ram on the Z axis

not sure how i would measure that

I was hoping for someone who has done the conversion just to tell me which motor to use

Not for CNC, just to powerfeed the Z axis running std screws

Most reccomend a Nema 34 but was wondering which one. Hopefully someone who has done this can advise

I am looking at THIS one?

Watched it this morning

This morning i spent a couple hours fettling my cheap knurler. Its much tighter now with no wagging arms. Yet to try it.

Also on a different note i stumbled accross Blondihacks YouTube channel. Some great projects. Also while watcher her stuff i also stumbled on Clough42s channel. Also very interesting

I tried to make the tool as sturdy as poss but its a fairly cheap one.

I bought the Nickerson. Results was very patch but i suspect i did not clean and degrease properly

Got my blueing and had a first attemp but i suspect the part was not properly degreased. Just wondering what people use to degrease? Could i use brake cleaner?

I thi k i have cracked it

Cheers, ordered some of the Nickerson from Amazon
