I agree with Robin, very nice neat build.

Did you do the machining yourself?

Thankyou very much. Yes I've done all the machining myself. So are there any recommendations for suitable stepper motors? I would like to be able to get a bit out of it speed wise, but not at the cost of torque. Id like to get it cutting aluminium at some point. Also, I'll be going towards the 80v range for the drivers.

With 65-70V 3Nm would be my choice and still be plenty fast enough and allow for plenty of extra weight if larger spindle or attachments to Z axis.!!
Gary's SY60STH88-3008B is what I use.
