Hi all,
My medium sized router has 5tpi ballscrews on x,y axis and am seriously considering converting it to belt drive for more speed in 3d contouring work.
I've been thinking of the GT2 timing belts/pulleys from sdpsi, but these are only available in 15mm width. Seems very narrow and may not handle the power required?
What is everyone else using? Also, are idlers really necessary?
Any experiences,ideas,tips or even pics/links to your machines would be of great help!
cheers
dave.
