Hi there guys, need a little bit of help in a machine I'm building.

I'm a bit confused about the x/y axis and which is which so I'll explain it in another way.

The table dimensions of my machine are 100cm x 50cm and from what I gathered around the net usually the size/torque of the motors are different from one axis to another, one of them is usually stronger. So which one should be the stronger one, the one driving the laser head (that usually sits in the cart) or the one moving the whole cart?

These are the motors I bought:

Nema 23 Bipolar 1.8deg 1.9Nm (269oz.in) 2.8A 3.2V 57x57x76mm

Nema 23 Bipolar 3Nm (425oz.in) 4.2A 57x57x114mm

Thanks in advance.
