As for the aluminum I overshot the size without realizing how much difference it would make. In truth the aluminum will be milled down to a size roughly 100mm x 100mm and around 20mm thick. The aluminum will transfer heat from a processor which will circulate through a cooling system. On the other side my wife is big in to crafts and wanted the size to create 3 dimensional signage and things of that nature. I hope this helps get you honed in to my needs.
Please recommend motor sizes,electronics and whatever helps me to get started. I will be buying a little at a time and building from scratch. I would love to buy a machine outright but I have the patience to get it done properly. If I could get a recommendation for a proper business to buy from it would go a long way.
Also considering you get a better idea of what I want to do, I hope someone could advise me toward ball screws or rack and pinion.
I really appreciate your responses. I will check back tomorrow.
