Hey Rab. Thank you for all you input. I have this idea in my head of building a really small 6 axis with the total footprint not being over about 15"X15"by as high as necessary to get everything to work. Made of machined aluminum with precision ball screws and minature thk profiled ways and bearings. I want a tiny dc motor to use for the spindle and the drive motors will be size 11 steppers. I want to build the machine just for fun mainly but I though it would be a great way to take to the local schools to interest the kids in machine work and cnc in particular. I would primarly use it for cutting wax and maybe soft metal as in gold or silver. Feasible??
