Dick,
A stepper should run relatively cool if it's being powered appropriately. On my projects I usually adjust the current downward until the motor starts missing steps under a heavy load, then bump it up 50% from there. I haven't had any problems with heat.

Hi Chris,
That is simple enough. How does one size a stepper for a given purpose? Especially when one has no way to measure the forces expected?
I have understood how steppers work and hold position for years. They were on the first CNC mill I bought back in the 1980's. The downside is the heat they produce. Everything has pros and cons.
