i purchased a matched set of 3 American Precision model M232-04 and was wondering if you had these motors what would you use them for? I want to do some miling of alum plate nothing major and not anything like 6061 or hardened alum. here is an example of something i want to do
http://www.busch.nu/busch_svc-107td.htm its a faceplate for a hometheatre computer. I also want to do things like gauge pods or possibly a dash for a vehicle for a gauge cluster. I am looking at possibly 24x24 or maybe larger. I know the larger it is the slower ill have to go that wont be an issue. I can wait and dont need something to be completed before it starts and i can always upgrade later.
ultimately i want to use 8020 alum for the frame. I am thiking for the slides i can use a total of 8 bearings in 2 c-channel in an offset orientation

|0 0 | hope this shows up properly this will keep the gantry from lifting and make it stable. if anything ill use the 8020 for slides for the X. on the Y am thinking of

basicly the electronics i will sort out later as well as the ball screw or acme screw. I am not needing super acuracy just hoping for .01 even .05 would work do you think this will be possible? am i dreaming?
