Evening Jonathan, thanks for the reply, I can drive 1 screw directly with stepper and pulley from one screw to other with pulley, i dont have a choice about the slaving. so option 1, and i will drive 1 screw directly with stepper.. Magic Thanks.
I do have lateral screw adjustment from 755mm to 765mm center to center so fingers crossed manufacturing tolerences should not be a problem..

That's tricky with a Nema 23/24 motor since the shaft is not long enough to accomodate two pulleys for 15mm wide belts. You could bolt two pulleys together, so one would overhang on the shaft, but that might be a bit much force for the motor bearings. Adding an extra bearing would sort that, but if you don't have access to a lathe or milling machine that gets tricky.

Bore 'em out then fix 'em on a common sleeve. The tension on the two belts would tend to cancel out if the thrusts are arranged to be reasonably opposite. The belts don't necessarily need to be the same length so the motor need not be centrally between the leadscrews.
Just my two-penny-worth.

You are quite correct you could do that in a simillar way as stated in another post and have a V arrangement to cover tensioning, however i havnt mentioned it before but i have such a limited working space that there is only just enough room below the bed for the belt .. But thanks anyhow...hope that makes things a little clearer..
