I'm building an all aluminum 24 X 36 cutting area CNC Router. It will be using a 1.75 HP Porter Cable router, possibly my 3.25 HP Porter Cable router for larger jobs.
From what I've learned from the people here is the 116oz motors will work just fine with 10tpi acme rod. I estimate my gantry will weigh between 50lbs and 75lbs with the router.
