    Re: Rack and pinion vs ballscrew

    So was in my mind thinking 25 to 30 mm dia ballscrew and probably 25mm linear rails
    25mm linear rails are overkill (by a large margin) for a DIY router. 20mm are more than big enough, and probably cost a bit less. These can carry thousands of pounds per bearing block.
