Nice one Lee,
I'm using 1605 throughout and various gear ratios. As I'm using servos my main goal is to slow everything down enough rather than to speed it up like most stepper guys are doing.

Between that and the round rails you are using I'm feeling confident that I've managed to squeeze out all the performance I'm likely to get from my machine. Thanks again, you've given me really helpful advice about what I am aiming for and now I can move on with confidence, its a good feeling!

I'll mainly be focusing on the electronics and software from now on.
