hi again
in reply to irving2008, thanks for the insite once again, basic specs i have thought of is building the table out of 40x40x3 RHS steel tube, rails where going to be home made, tube over steel rod with 3 bearings offset around the outer tube at each end, if you get the drift, for the drive i was thinking of some sort of chain drive instead of lead screw as i'm looking for demensions of hope fully 2000mmx1350mmx500 on z axis, with travel of 1900x1300x350 roughtly so quite a big machine and maybe i should give up as it is sounding like a big task for a fisrt time
but hope that is a bit more help but will like you said post elsewhere to see what other people say, cheers

hi thanks for letting me know you think these motors will be good, one thing you say is to use the Xylotex or simaler board but one question i have to this is that it is rated at 2.5 amps you say but what i want to know is is it ok to run the motors i have which are 4.2 amp on a 2.5 amp board, wont that blow the board??
anyway i'm thinking about just getting geckos but am undecided on what model, does anyone know the difference between then, or could someone explain it for me, cheers
