Ok need some info so i can price the gear rack. What pitch and TPI do you guys recomend from experience. From what I gather so far, the dual X motors will be direct driven to the gear rack. The X axis will be a 3:1 reduction. Heres the questions:
1-what size spur gear for the X axis motors.
2-wher do I find the belts and reduction gears for the Y axis motor.
3-do I need reduction on the Z axis
I found a linear slide for the Z axis on ebay, has 8 inshes of travel and the motor bolts right on with a coupler to connect the ballscrew to the motor.
Let me know if I am going in the right direction and can help with the few questions I have posted.
