This is a nice pitch for a wood router and will give rapids in the region of 10Mtr/min. (390in/min) or above.
You'll rarely cut at this speed so will have more than enough torque when cutting.
Haha looks like I messed up the conversion. My old cnc moves that fast but with 2 gantry motors and a lightweight gantry. This http://www.elab.ph/forum/index.php?topic=35151.100. Sorry mostly in our language. Cheap used linear rails started popping out in the local market so I thought of another upgrade. Well, thank you so much for your input. I'll post pictures as soon as I commence building again.
