It wasn't that much work... its just a spread sheet.. but I figure if a person is going to spend the $$.. you might as well make sure your doing it right [ at least to a certain extent], rather than just point and shoot and hope you hit the target. I'm working on my own rack/pinion style machine and I'll be darned if I spend $5000 on linear rails w/out knowing intimatly what my machine should be able to do etc...
Glad to be of help..
