timing belts vs ballscrews/rack-n-pinion

on 2002-02-10 09:33:00 UTC

after having built a few wood routers with ballscrews I am
wondering if timing belts wouldn't be a better [easier] solution
than rack and pinion when you need more speed over longer travels.
Looking for pros and cons.

thanks
Carl
