16 forum posts	I am looking for suggestions about the size and power of stepper to drive this table. It is a standard table with a 90 turn worm giving 4 degrees for 1 rev of the spindle. I don't expect that I will be taking large cuts or that it will be revolving heavy lumps and speed is not an issue, but I am sure that a lot of people have done this before, so I would be grateful for any input.

16 forum posts	Thank you, both Ian and John for your helpfull replies. As I have a suitable size 27 stepper motor in my "come in handy" box, I will go with that and hopefully keep the group posted along the way. Mike
