HELP!
How much is the maximum weight for a Z axis in this project!.
The stepper is heavy about 1.5 kilo, my idea is to use a trapetzoid screw TR18 x 4 and two THK HRW27 320mm, this will be mounted on a X axiz with two THK HRW27 640mm long.
The case is that I have bought three steppers that are very big by a mistake I forgot to ask the seller about weight so... I have to use them in this project, the router will be rather small but uses very robust THK rails the measure of the X,Y table is about 640mm x 640mm.
My problem is the Z-Axiz can this project be relevant or should I buy a smaller stepper to drive the Z Axis.
If I build this monster it may be strong enough to carry a heavy router like Makita or Bosch.
At a loss!
