Whats your planned work area?

How do you plan to use the toothed belt? The tricky bit is to keep it tensioned, which usually means some form of sprung jockey pully system. How are you assessing the motor size? I did a tutorial on motor selection for designs using leadscrew, will probably update it for belt/chain driven once I've figured out how to do the calculations.
Hi irving2008

My work area will be 800mm x 600mm

I'm going to have an open belt fixed at each end, with a gear that works along it, like a rack and pinion
Where can I find your Tutorial? I haven't had a look round the site yet
