    Hi everybody, I'm new here, done alot of reading and there is alot of information on this great site.

    I'm figuring that from what I've been reading that the servo motors are better. How can I know what size I will need?

    Cutting wood? You could use servos or steppers....you can't go wrong with anything about 700 oz-in torque.....generally with servos you step or down....depending on your needs.

    Steppers, I would direct drive.

    Mostly for wood, with a 2 3/4 hp router. What do you mean, when you say "generally with servos you step or down"?
