Good day all !
I am in the process of building my Table Top CnC Router ! Which I've got the plans from the Instructables.com !
While gathering the hardware... Locally and On line.... I saw my Order from McMaster-Carr Cancelled ! or should I say Refused !!! due to the fact that I was a new client and lived in Canada.... (nuts) it wasn't about money !!! Feel the Luv !
Now I am Stuck... I find it hard to locate a Similar distributor in Canada ! for Timing belts and Timing pulleys ! and Shaft Bearings...
My only other option is to Convert my Existing Belt design to LEAD Screws !!!
which should be easy enough for the X axis... but the Y gantry that's another story !!! it is Self standing !!! so I was thinking of Using 2 Lead screws for movement and to keep the Gantry attached to the Base....
Is it possible to run 2 stepper motors in Parallel ??? so that both sides of my Gantry can move in Unison ! and what are the Danger of doing so ?
I really don't have the Room to Run Gears and such to send the Motion from Only One Stepper to the other side....
Hope some of you can either point me in the right direction !!! for Timing belts in Canada or can suggest ways to run my Y gantry.... with the Lead Screw option
Thanks in advance !!!
