Indeed, I am currently contemplating mounting a large frame servomotor
through a cutout in doubled up sheets of 3/4" plywood. It may not be
a good idea long term, but I need to make the machine go now, and
without sinking too many more $$ into the setup until I am sure it is
going to work, that I have chosen a reasonable drive ratio, etc.
