Thinking box. Building a CO2 laser

[Robin Hewitt]

Sorry cross purposes, I am trying to do too much and, apparently, failing miserably

I am talking about the cheap Chinese laser, you are talking about converting a cheap Chinese router table in to a laser

Please ignore everything I said

hehe
I have ordered the rail kit from mjunit Link here want to build co2 laser cutter/engraver from scratch :) I think that is better than ordering theese systems.
Regarding the motors and drivers, I am a bit confused... There are a sh*tload of different nema 17 and nema 23 motors.
They recommend nema23 motors since they have 8mm shaft. And the kit contains 8mm couplings and mounts for nema 23. But I am lost here...so many motors to choose from.

What do I need to look after regarding motors and drivers?
