I've been toying with the idea of experimenting with some basic CNC...
The motors that are offered are rated according to oz/inches of power.
How do you develop a sense for the size you would need?
For example, just how much is 131 in/ozs of torque????
Is there a way to translate that number into some demonstrable amount?
Clamp a torque wrench into a vice and turn?
Thanks for any possible practical insight...

Yes, clamp a torque wrench into a vise and turn to see 131 oz/inches.
