Hi @chris34 Welcome to OpenBuilds! Have you had a look at this cool build http://www.openbuilds.com/builds/cubefoot-cnc.716/
Im going to design my own as i seen most or belt driven well the ox is, and for torque purposes im going to use lead screws, and use nema 23, using nema 17 on a 3d printer is ok, as there not much resistance that requires high torque motors but on what i want to mill out will be mm aluminium max
Sounds good Chris I would like to see a lead screw driven mill, especially on a little one I think it will make for a nice strong setup. Good luck and have fun with your build. Please post the build when you start so we can all follow along
