    Ray,

    Suggest you put shielded cable on your steppers other wise your asking for trouble.!!

    Agree with Jonathan regards CamBam being good start.

    If you remove the handles you'll get far higher acceleration and probably higher speed than with them attached.

    Cambam, CamBam CNC Software is good to start with.

    It's never a good idea to cut spare wires off anything, best to terminate them with some heat shrink sleeving if unused.

    Re: Which Connection ?

    With bipolar wiring you still use all the wires, by putting the coils in series or parallel. Parallel is almost invariably the better option, so don't start cutting them off! Consult the diagrams in...

    Re: Which Belt Profile

    The width depends on what you're doing, but in general 15mm wide is fine. If it's a long belt then increasing to 25mm is a good idea as it will raise the stiffness.

    By longer I think you mean the...

    Re: Driver & Driven

    I'd go 3:1 with small pulley on stepper.

    If you want to relieve some stress on the motor then use some form of counter balance, either weights or gas struts.
