Ok so here is my delema. I am done fabricating my CNC plasma table and have come to a dead stop trying to decide what size steppers/driver/power supply to use. I'm totally lost.

Here is what I have.

My X-Axis will be driven by (2) stepper motors (1 on each side) direct drive (no gearbox yet) with a 1.25" dia. spur gear spring loaded to the gear rack. Total travel is 96". Total gantry weight will be 50-60lbs max.

My Y-Axis will be driven by (1) stepper motor with a 1.25" spur gear direct drive (no gearbox yet). Total travel will be 60". Total weight these stepers will carry is 20lbs max.

My Z-Axis... its's screw driven 5/16-18. Not too worried about this one. I know a smaller motor will carry this one.

I'd like to purchase a 4 axis package deal since I'm so lost on compatable motors to drivers... and drivers to power supplies

I was looking to go with the following.

Package #8

Can anyone confirm if this package will work? I'd hate to just close my eyes and pick one.
