Hi,
I'm looking for a couple of answers to some, what I hope are, basic questions.
1. What is the maximum cutting area I can expect to have if I don't want to have a Y axis that has dual steppers? I hope that's the correct way to phrase the question, from my basic understanding once you get past a certain size I thought the Y axis needs two linked/synced steppers?
2. What size profiles would I likely be looking at if I wanted to build a machine chassis to the above requirements... 4080, 4590, 5050 etc, etc.
I appreciate that the last question might be quantified by other design considerations, but again just wonder what people would consider the minimum sized profile to guarantee a decent base level of rigidity.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
