Has anyone got any experience of these?

Was wondering if it might be man enough to belt drive my x-axis??? I have no real issue with a nema 34 and 240v drive but would the 4nm nema 23 be faster..? The old issue of wanting this machine to do wood and aluminium! And remembering I have 5mm pitch screws.

I've got an 8Nm Nema 34 in my X axis and 240V drive but 10mm pitch screws....you could always go 2:1 on the pulleys. I cut plastics at 7500mm/sec and that's plenty quick enough 😁

How heavy is your X axis?

I'm not sure on the weight, not crazy as it is ali extrusion and 20mm plate - pretty standard L design! It wasn't standard when I started but people keep starting and finishing their builds while I keep trudging along at a snails pace! I was planning on going 2:1. Have you cut much wood - how slow can you go?!
