Hey folks, I'm making a homespun CNC conversion on a large mill/drill. RF45, not a full blown production machine by any means but still a fun jobbie.
I've got some 116 oz/in steppers for the CNC conversion and was wondering if I could get away with putting these right on the axes or would I want to "gear down" the motor through different sized timing belt pulleys.
Long term, servos on a larger machine. This is a low dollar learning experience for now.
Thanks,
