I want to make my own x y cutting torch. I was thinkning of using 2" sq
tubing for the frame and haveing the rails guided by roller barings. I
would like to know what size of motor you think would be needed to move
the gantery style frame. I was thinking along the lines of a 4x8 style
or min. 24x 48". If needed I can go to something lighter. Where is a
good place to get these motors at a good price that are compatable with
your kit? Is a person better off using regular screw threads/ ball
screws or a rack an pinion setup since there is not much load on the
machine, unlike a mill or lathe.

Any custruction notes or idea feel free to drop me a note.

Thanks for your help
