one other thing I am planning is a Bluetooth keyboard, to use as a remote pendant, t

I wouldnt use bluetooth myself as Im using 2.4ghz microsoft keyboard and mouse which sometimes prevents multiple keypresses, hence my motors stop when I jog them. Better to use wired.

Great pictures and a solid machine. What stops the gantry lifting as I cant see bearing underneath? Is it the weight?

Ignore last comment as just realised this is the plasma section

Hi Steve,

would you not have been better off mounting the rack and pinion the other way up to keep dross off it?
(or are my eyes in upside down again):p

that would aslo have stopped the gantry rising

Yes it would have been But when I did it it got in the way of the under side (anti lift) cam followers (not fitted in pictures) but in hind sight had I mounted them the other way up I would not have needed the followers, there is still time to have a rethink yet, but put a single motor on the "X" today on the one side only and it runs sweet as a nut, it traveled the 1.9 mtr in 13 seconds fast travel no binding or high spots..........what do I do????????
