According to my calcs, with 1,6Nm rated motor torque, theoretically You are getting 630 N of continuous linear force. In practice it still should be above 600 N (gearboxes and other stuff is not 100% efficient). Totally fine for plasma machine. Is it enough for machine to work as a router? What kind of materials are You routing, what is power of spindle, what feed rates and cutting depths can You achieve? I am particularly interested in Your experience (if You have) with aluminium plates. And one more question about plasma cutting - does the heat from plasma torch help getting the gantry bridge and other parts getting warmer thus causing any deflections?
