Thanks Guys
I will go ahead and get the drive pulleys and belt to do a 5 to 1 ratio. That will give me resolution of .001 per step at 200 steps per rev. That will be enough for a plasma cutter. I appreciate the info and I will be using steppers. My next item to solve is how big a motors I will need. I will do a weight calculation on the mass that has to be moved and start working out motor size. I will past some pictures as soon as I can.
Thanks again, Ferrall
