I have a home-brew cnc router now with a x-axis lead screw that's about 3' long. It works, but I'd like my next machine to have a longer bed and I'd rather not rely on a screw-drive. I'd rather go with a belt drive or other similar solution. My experience have show long lead screws are prone to whipping at fast feed rates amoung other problems...
Anyone hve any alternate suggestions of a means to drive the X-Axis that would be accurate enough for wood working (and v-carving) but still affordable on a hobby budget.
Any references to any web pages showing drawings or other illustrations?
Thanks -
