hi I think it very important to build machine, in your case router,with AC servo motors to you can see what software does. than you need to find out about tune up ac servo motors with amplifiers and EMC2 sotware. when you get somthing that moves than you can move to homing, adding next thing to it. that works to me. if you interesting in machine -demo stude type to build up i can help you up with less expencive design. aram
