Belt drive and pulley sizes

[j2sip]

Thanks guys.

@ irving2008

It will be an all MDF machine. Do you think there will be deflection in that section? its only 200mm x 150mm square rom top to the V bearing line. But I'll put that in mind and incorporate a provision for some kind of reinforcement in that section.

@ John S

There will be support bearings at either sides of the big pulley and another 2 at the ends of the shaft. What I has me worried about is the Y lateral support (where the X motor's located). Do you think it will still provide rigidity as it is now divided into two to make room for the belt tot pass thru?

Again guys thank you very much.

Why are you putting it in the middle rather than at one end?

Hmmm, another great idea from the good people of the forum! It's worth a try. Actually, it's what I'm gonna do. Why didn't I think of it? it will lessen the umber of support bearing o be use. Ill update my drawings. Thanks again!!!
