Re: foam cutting current ?
Just got this through from a member:
"Since the heat (energy) is not used for cutting, but for
overcoming the latent heat of fusion of the foam, all of your
observations are right on the mark.

Re: bridgeport boss servo
The motor itself should be ideal. Mechanically it should be pretty much a drop in replacement. A Gecko drive will have problems with the 2000 count encoder. Apart from the speed issues Jon mentioned,
