Hi all,
I have a couple of questions for you.....
1- The machine I am looking at building is a router with a travel distance of approx 600mm on the X axis and 500mm on the Y. I would like it to be quite accurate so what do you suggest, ball screw or something else and what size?? Also what would be a good travel distance for the Z?
2- Looking at using the mach3 software to run it but do i need a specific pitch screw and a specific stepper motor or is it configurable in the software? Had a look but can't see any obvious way of adjusting it.
These may seem like dumb questions to some of you but this is my first machine build and everything is pretty new to me, just trying to save myself some money and time by listening to other peoples experiences.
Thanks.
