Thanks again Doddy for your reply, now I have a better idea , I'm feeling confident to carry on with the upgrade.

Plenty of options and ideas out there - start a build log and the critique will follow.

I realise my explanation about about positioning steppers may be a bit half-hearted (it's been one of those days). Image below hopefully explains - a major drive for me is space so rolling the stepper back into the machine footprint was a big boon. Shown are X and Y axis motors.



(Ignore the mess... thing to reorganise the shed and things are a bit...)

It's all your choice of course. Build Log!
