In that size, I'd not even think about belts. Maybe some super big industrial belt that would cost more than a ballscrew, but that's not a good...
It's funny how it works that way. :) And you just never know when you might decide to build a printer (or 3), a lathe, a vertical mill or a...
Hi Jay. Sounds like you have a good plan. If you need any help or advice, ask away! You'll find a bunch of very helpful folks here, all willing...
The 4ft width is not a real problem. Belt drive will work on that length, but Acme or Ball Screws will be better. For 8ft there's no question in...
I'm afraid that we are traveling right now and it will be a couple weeks before I get back home to take any pics. I'll check my home network...

:) me too. I've got a framed piece of plywood with a charred hole in the middle burned 1/4" around. I started the laser and held down the "test"...
Wow that's MUCH simpler!
Thank you Giarc, I didn't see any other posts so I thought I'd try. Glad you set us both straight. Larry
I'm the wrong guy to answer any of your questions in detail, I'm more a hardware guy, but I'll share what Little I understand. :) Worth every...
