X3 Vs AMD 25LV CNC Conversion

[Mark Turner 1Participant @markturner1]

So the question is which is most suitable, Im thinking either long table X3 or Armadeal 25LV. Some people say the 25LV has a stiffer column and the table seems a shade larger which would be good for a 4th axis.

 

Will 16mm 5mm pitch ballscrews be ok for both these with direct drive Nema 23s (maybe belt on Z?)

 

X3 seems to have lots of off the shelf conversions avail and lots of info on formums, but less so the amadeal (who else sells this as I think its a Weiss WMD 25LV)

 

Ill be making parts for racing cars, mainly alluminuium but if I get realy clever maybe porting cylinder head chambers (only Austin A series so smallish)!!!

 

I have read the article in MEW on the Armadeal and it seems to be be slightly better made?

 

Thoughts??

 

Cheers
