    Mick starting to appear you are a classic case of the internet searching leading you up the wrong path.
    In the early days of DIY CNC components like ball screws and good off the shelf drives etc cost lot of money. Things have changed massively and now the cost is down to sensible figures we can afford.

    Now it's very easy and we see it all the time that new builders find old build's which used components like Tr8 and even threaded rod and all sorts of DIY methods and follow this route. Unfortunatly often they are sadly dissapointed and waste lot of money.

    So my advice is to take a step back do little more research and ask any questions you may have no matter how stupid you think it may be.
    UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BUY ANYTHING Until your sure it's correct for your build.

    For instance, all the previous info regards Voltages drives etc to achieve best speeds is mostly irrelevant because the limiting factor to speed will most likely be the Tr8 and everything that comes with it not the voltage. So you would have wasted money building PSU etc that's much more than needed.
    Said this many times that machine is only as good as it's the weakest link and for a great machine you need components which are well matched to give balanced machine.
    Trying to save money only costs you money when comes to CNC, so don't try cutting corners because will only regret it.

    Suggest you start build thread if you haven't already which shows your design. Then ask any questions there. If we can see what you have in mind it's easier to advise the correct components or approach.
