I have a PRS ALPHA model with the indexer mounted along the X axis. The indexer is the ShopBot model with the supplied VEXTRA T-10 drive motor. My question is this; does this motor have the ability to handle a 8 X 8 by 7 foot post for machining? If not what motor would be a suitable replacement?
I have learned so much from the experts here and the information shared. Wanted to say thanks to all and that it is very much appreciated.

I've done 12" wide by 8' long columns with no problem
If you have a couple of pictures showing where and how your indexer is mounted, I really like to see them. Thanks.Quote:

I will post a pic soon.

Very nice set up! I wish I could mount that on my machine but alas there isn't the room. What are there specs for the geared stepper motor that drives it? Backlash?
