Help With a number of build issues & uncertaintities

[JAZZCNC]

I was going to make a comment when i first saw it but try not to offend if possible

It's a matter of perspective suppose because I don't see it has being offensive I see it as being honest and helping someone avoid wasting money and disappointment.!! . . . . It's more offensive to me for someone to know something is Bad or wrong and not say anything.! . . . .But that's just my view and perspective.

Thanks for the advice guys I'm not in the least offended just a bit pissed - I've decided to sell this on as a plasma cutter or similar & have contacted cnc4you.co.uk regarding components for a new build

Please do not buy any components yet, get a design together ask for comments and the guys will make sure you don't order anything unsuitable, if you can possibly stretch to profile rail this will make a far superior build, there is a company called FSA that trade on ebay that sell second hand rails and Jazz for one has had good results using that kit.
Good luck on whatever you decide.

Yes don't buy anything yet, It's the worst thing you can do and classic mistake.
Another thing is don't rely on the sellers to advise because they will only try to sell you what they have in stock or need shut of. Often this or some of it isn't the best for your needs so just hang fire and check with us here before ordering.

Start with design and then work from there. Motors and drives sat on a bench are just wasting warrenty and you can bet your last dollar they will be out of date by time machines built and cutting.
