I'm starting to put together parts for a 4 axis cutter for cutting wing cores.
So far I have an Arduino Mega 2560 board
4 Big Easy Driver boards
My BIL (brother in law) is going to supply 4 rail slides used for racking servers.
I had a question on Steppers..
I have 4 bi-polar steppers I bought from Sci-plus 2-3 years ago because they were dirt cheap. They are 20 step 18deg motors..
Now I know most people are using 200 step 1.8 deg motors..
Is it possible to use these with say a fine thread lead screw and microstepping or am I just better off bucking up and getting some 200 step motors?
