Hi I am going to build a 100cmx60cm router and have lots of questions.
The budget is very tight
The frame will be 40x80mm aluminium profiles.
The questions are as follows
1. Will NEMA 23 motors be big enough
2. Can I get away with one motor on X axis
3. What size spindle or router do I need
4. Can I get away with out using closed loop motors
The ball screws are 1605s
The guide rails are 20mm
The machine will be used mostly for wood and venner work.
But would like to be able to do aluminium to 6mm occasionally
Thank you
Albert
