MASS:thanks for the welcome..your right about all the great info.i just love the web for all the info thats on it.i,ve always felt it,s not what you know but,who you know.a person can,t know everything but,if you can talk to alot of people you can find the answers you need. and the web allows that pretty easy.
when,i build my cnc torch i,ll either use chain or belt for the x axis.i saw a chain y axis i liked alot so,i think i,ll use that..and like you said z don,t need to do much so i,ll use the screw i have.
i,ve seen belts and chain used as a loop or a single length..i,am thinking single length with idle rollers to keep the chain and or belt on the drive sprocket.
