Nice work Clyde,
"The actual work area is 17.5" x 36".
180 IPM, using ACME 1/2x10 as drive screws, nylon as drive nuts."
Is this a typo?
180 IPM equals 3 inches per second... which means your motors have to spin 3 inches x 10 revolutions per inch = 30 revolutions per second or 1800 RPM... that's fast! ... especially under load.
