The surface will be flat and the shapes will have all kinds of curves and
angles. Accuracy well I think the ball screw method will be best from what
I have seen in comerical units.

What kind of motors would I use with ball screws?

I assume I will build a rack system to support the axises and hold the
torch. Any suggestions on bearing configurations?

The mechanics dont really seem to be the problems the real problems are with
wiring the motors to respond to computer.

Software Well I am open to suggestions there I plan to scan graphics and
convert to line drawings that the plasma will cut like a plotter prints.


Thanks Don
