I've got class 5 ballscrews in the pipeline anyway so will think about it after that, steppers are cheap enough to experiment with, if it fails to perform as expected I'll chuck them and go servo... I was planning on servo anyway cos its what I know but someone who apparently knew what they were talking about told me that steppers now != steppers of 5 years ago and were just as good as servos... thinking about it he has a financial interest in making that statement. cheers all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
