    Re: 60" x 40" new build

    Looks like i can swap out the 1605's for 2005's if my long axis is too slow for a few hundred bucks if needed to gain more RPM's. Are 2005's big enough for that 60" length @ Skrubol for higher rpm's?

    Your screw pitch is where you can gain speed 2005 is 5mm pitch this 5mm pitch is normally used for the z axes if you are going to change them get 10mm pitch screws 2010 ballscrews this will double your machine speed with the same RPM
