Steve, take a look at this: [ame="http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=786"]Link[/ame]
Look for post [ame="http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4282&postcount=9"]#9[/ame] by HS93, i'v been asking belt related questions as well, you can use that to work out what size belts you need.
I'v not seen anyone use two leadscrews on the X Axis befor, its normally the Y Axis they do it on to stop "racking", do you really need two?
If you could submit some of your design for us to look at it may help with ideas..Me

I may be calling my X axis my Y and visa versa! What i am calling my X axis runs along the table and my Y axis runs on the gantry, just seemed to make more sense this way round! Yes using the 2 leadscrews is to prevent racking.
Just in the middle of tweaking the design now but I will post some pics later. But the basic configuration is a typical flying gantry machine with two lead screws / ball screws to drive the gantry, this is why i was asking about belt configurations to prevent racking.

Well you have just answered all my questions on sizing belts and pulleys! Nice one Lee.
Just need to figure out what configuration will work best, may build into my design the option to try them all and see how it works.
Just one other thing, you look way to serious in that avatar photo to the point were you are scaring my kids! Ever felt the urge to become an axe murderer???
