OK, I want to add some reduction to my DIY router. I have 360oz servos and THK 5mm pitch ballscrews. (300ipm rapids are scary!!) I'm thinking in the 3:1 range, and am checking out the McMaster catalog.... I'm leaning toward 3/8"width, .2" pitch .... will this be adequate? How much backlash can I expect ? (near zero now) Will they need to be accurately tensioned ? Do I need a tensioner device (spring-loaded idler) ? Will they stretch ? How often will they need replacement ? Any input/ opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks
