I'm making a CNC hot wire cutter. The rails are 1 inch Thompson rods and the slides I made from nylon stock. I am using 1/2 inch 5 start threaded lead screws.
Need to buy the stepper motors and drives. Can some one let me know what size Nema steppers motors and drives to get. Would a Gecko 540 be over kill for this application vs China drivers. I am to the point where I need the motors so can bore some holes in the aluminum parts for mounting .
Thanks in advance,
Joe
