This is another shot from the side. top down. simple motor to stepper direct drive.. a next machine will have at least 4:1 reduction on the drive train. i think .02in/step is WAY to big. probably 1:6 to 1:10 reduction will be appropriate. i am hoping to find some surplus gearhead steppers, to avoid more machining on this guy.. tomorrow i will probably build a spring loaded marker holder.
