[QUOTE="vonG, post: 311008, member: 9242"] You should go with whatever you feel is right for your machine, but I would chose a high precision stepper motor setup instead. You are not building this for speed. Encoders are good for clean environments, even if you have covers the dust from the diamond laps and the gemstones will be so fine that it will get in. I dont know if the temperature will be to high if you encapsulate the encoder completely, but maybe it could work that way. [/QUOTE]
