Hi everyone
Finally ready to start work on my machine decided with my limited funds and tools I will build the model d moving gantry I like the idea of the sliders being supported, and stronger then unsupported, plus it's an all wood machine to suit my limited tools which most are woodwork type.
I have been playing around with mach3 and motors/driver for a couple of weeks working very good but there's only so much you can do with motors loose on the work bench,
need some help,,,,,
rockcliff recomended 3/8-5 or 1/2-5 acme screw for good speed around 100 inches per min, my buget cannot afford it at the moment, has anyone got any places to get cheap acme screws? ,
also if I had to use threaded rod? will the speed be too slow to cut wood ?
