Generally, you are going to need at last NEMA23<\/a> from 175oz\/in upwards unless your machine is very small such as a CNC engraver. These are quite often used for making Printed Circuit Boards(PCB) and if you check the description they will say only for soft materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s look at a couple of examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For routers, the cutting material plays a big part in our decision. Harder materials will need a more powerful stepper because the cutting bit is being driven into the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WorkBee from Ooznest in the UK which is based on the OpenBuilds design. It uses NEMA23 of 175 oz\/in. If you check some of the offerings on eBay for 6040 CNC routers you\u2019ll quite often see in the description 57 size motors, which is the metric equivalent of 2.3 inches or NEMA23\u2019s and these usually come with 175-200oz-in motors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you intended to cut very hard materials then high torque steppers motors will be required usually around 300-400 oz\/in and you may need to go up to NEMA34<\/a> and you will need a strong frame to support that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
