Be aware that if you do use a ballscrew on your Z axis you may need a brake to keep the Z from dropping when the motor is powered off.

I'll keep that in mind thanks Phife...

I've already purchased a Nema 34 640 oz inch for all axis... The X axis will have 2 due to the machines size...

I'll keep my eyes peeled for 10mm Screws...
Thanks fellas...

640oz/in is fairly serious stuff! You should be able to plow through just about anything with that!

But I'd personally recommend not using round rails but linear rails instead for rigidity and accuracy/speed.

Cheers,

Well...

Another delivery arrived today... This time from Keling...

Power Supply KL-5020...

Yay... But still have to order the BOB and bits and pieces from PMDX...
Will be ordering:
1 x PMDX-126 Breakout Board
2 x PMDX-133 Gecko Boards
1 x PMDX-107 Spindle Control Board
A Dual Parallel card
And an assortment of cables

Would anyone know of a link or some pics of these boards wired up...?
I've read through the manuals but I'm no electrician and would rather check that I'm on the right track...

Even a block diagram would help...

I'll post some pics of the goodies I've got already sometime soon...
