Stepper motor temperature

[lc]

Hello everyone.
I'm a cnc newby and have recently purchased a second hand Romaxx.

I noticed when machining up a job the other day the x-axis stepper was very warm (almost hot) to touch.

The feed rate was 600mm/min and the depth of cut only 2.5mm in softwood.

Is it normal for steppers to heat up so much?

Thanks, lc

Hello,

Stepper motors running warm is not a problem at all. Perfectly normal.
