Good Day everyone. I am a little confused.. I want to build a cnc router and the table size will be 36" (X-axis) 53" (Y-axis) and 15" (Z-axis) eventually i will like to add more axis. I was thinking of having my router belt driven. So all of my axis are running with belts. Do you think that will work for this size router?? I was thinking it would be best for me because i am new to this and to me belts would seem like the easist option. I was thinking of using stepper motors from www.homeshopcnc.com and was going to use 2 (400oz) stepper motors for the X-axis and Y-axis, and 1 (1200oz) stepper motor for the Z-axis. Is this enough power because i want to use a real router not a dremel or anything?? And my other question is that i know that i will use rhino3d to design my parts and everything but could i use just rhino3d and Mach3 to produce my parts or will i need a CAM program or other stuff?? I know this is a lot of questions but i just need a little bit of stuff cleared up before i start this project.
Thanks
