Has anybody built a small cnc using linear motors? I am toying with the idea of building a small high speed mill/router and am wondering if using linear motors is a good idea and where to find some. Brand names seem pretty expensive. I would like to have feedrates of at least 1000 ipm so that eliminates stepper motors. Travels would be at least 12" if not 24" on all 3 axes.
Also, what could be used for spindle? Ideally 10,000 rpm
