This is my first router it will be used for multicut materials (aluminium, wood, polycarbonate, etc...) and i'm looking for the best resolution before speed, but on the other end i understand that for some materials.. a fast feedrate could be need, so maybe an rm2010 could be an intermediate solution...

1 - we always see Z axis with rm1605, i assume with 1:1 or another ratio ?
2 - For my long axis to get a 1400mm travel i could use a 1550mm rm2010 with an 1:1 ratio but will it work correctly ? (whipping...)
if it wont work wich length would you use maximum ?
3 - If using RM2020 for cutting aluminium do you think i can have a good resolution with a pulley change to something like 4:1

Many thanks for your help..
