RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Chain drive question????

The chain is probably accurate enough but I would be concerned about the
grit generated from the plasma cutting process accumulating on the chain
because the chain must be lubricated. I built a cnc gantry with 3/8" wide XL
timing belts to drive both x and y axis and it seems to work pretty well.
