Hi
I'm looking at either building a Joe's Evo or Hybrid at 4' x 4', it will be made of aluminium and steel (not MDF). I don't as yet, have the plans.
However, I have this desire (illogical possibly) to use lead screws, not racks. Mostly as it looks more straight forward and a bit cheaper.
I assume I can connect the screws directly to the stepper, avoiding belts, tensioner pullys etc...
So, are the racks that much better?
It's going to be a hobby machine and I might drive it hard sometimes, but not on a daily basis.
thanks
Patrick
