Good luck, post lots of pics. Only thoughts are: you may regret those motors unless they are the more expensive 3.5mH ones, and single X screw might be an issue for heavy cuts off-centre due to racking.

Thanks for the replies - will see how much the extra ballscrew will cost. Already have an extra motor as I bought for a potential headstock upgrade in the future.
I'll re-design the gantry if I adopt the second X axis screw. Will keep you posted.
