Hey all sorry if this post is in the wrong forum.

I'm looking to build a plasma table and based on budget it looks like I'll need to use a timing belt drive system on my x & y axis.

What are peoples thoughts in using the belt system over rack and pinion for a plasma? I'm getting the feeling that for a router you need a real positive drive system but plasma doesn't have the same drive loads.

Also what's the best size belt to use? I've heard T2.5 & T5 but the belts are only 6mm wide. I was thinking I'd need about 25mm wide at least. Also what pitch is recommended?

Sorry if my questions are lame.
