I am getting ready to build a CNC router and need help deciding on the stepper motor's
My build will be
welded steel construction
Moving gantry with dual ballscrews
1000mm Ball screws and linear rails
Useable size should be about 32"x32" after accounting for the linear carriages.
Mostly working with wood and plastic but occasional aluminum
I am going to start with a router but will probably upgrade to a water cooled spindle in the future.
My normal practice is when in doubt throw more power at it and I was initially going to go with nema 23 425oz. but I have been reading that the larger torque motors turn quite a bit slower. So now I am wondering if I should be looking at the 269oz or the 179oz motors. Or possible a combination of them.
