    Re: Ram-type milling machine

    How high is your table?

    Why direct drive for servo.
    You can use a belt and have the servo out the way.

    Table - working surface is now sitting at 735mm from ground.

    I was thinking of direct drive so i don't have to make transmission with belt drive and that way i have one less variable to look after.
    But yes i think best solution will be to make belt driving and move servomotor on column out of way.

    Like this, but to flip servomotor around and add belt for driving
