I am in the process of building a cnc router table. What is recomended as to
the motor size selection? For example on the y axis it takes about 2
inch-pounds to move the carriage. Should one use a ten to one factor and choose
a motor around 320 inch ounces?

Sorry for the on topic post!

Is that just to move an empty carriage or to move the carriage with
workpeice and while cutting. (the heaviest cut you ever plan to make)

Thank You,

That's just to move the carriage.

greg

even plan to cut anything other than wood? some routers can cut
aluminum, if so think big.

If you put too small a motor on it you will;
A. need to tke repeated small cuts
B. put on bigger motors

Polymer Man, what kind of cuts can your machine do? Maybe that wll
guide the OP in the right direction.

Thank You,
Randy
