Very interesting, looking forward to hearing more! One question springs to mind, how come the Z axis requires so much more power than X or Y?

i am not an expert on the subject. My thought is that because of the z axi's weight, extra power may required. Also the ballscrew is M20 instead of M16 used on the X-Y axis

Ah! Were those sizes of motors recommended by another build then? There is a motor size calculator floating around these forums somewhere, although I don't know if it also calculates for servos - you might find it interesting.
My line of thought was that the Z axis is typically held in place moving less frequently with lower accelerations, whilst the X and Y have to deal with the cutting forces - hence why I asked the original question. I can certainly see your logic - and the inertia of the larger screw will make a reasonable difference.

Hello all, looks likes anniversary reply but I just had the time to continue the build. Y and X almost finished.. waiting for an enclosure (bottom bath) to be prepared by a local factory and the moving forward with the Z. Finally, I will use the same (250w) motor also for Z, direct but with a brake.

Having just this second recovered my little SX2.7 running steppers and 2:1 on a 1605 screw, all I can say is: Wow!, Speedy!
Looking good.
