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.


This seems impractical.

CNC drives for small mills should develop literally tons of linear force.

Do linear motors do that?
The new fancy Trans do - Mag Levs aren't they!
