Air, would be my guess. If your part has a lot of rapid moves (like text engraving), having fast screws helps a lot.Originally Posted by asuratman

Re: How fast is your homemade CNC?
Exactly. On the other hand, high acceleration is probably more important during cutting than high speed. If you have a lot of short moves the machine is never up at top speed, so acceleration gives more benefit than top speed. That's also a reason why I backed off from 10,000mm/min to 8,000mm/min. No point in higher speed on my small machine unless I can considerably increase acceleration also. Originally Posted by CitizenOfDreams
