Power feed for Centec2

[Fortis64]

Hi,I've just recently made myself a very basic vertical head for the Centec2 ,I'm now looking to adding my own power feed to the table . I'm not sure what size of 12v motor to use ,I initially was going to use a wiper motor which seems like it might  have enough torque .

Photo of the head I made which works surprisingly good .

 Any info or ideas would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks

Using a stepper motor instead of a plain dc motor would allow you to move the head a specific distance.

Stepper sounds good ,but  this would  involve electronics ,I'm absolutely dire when it come to electrics .   

Thanks

Lots of easy to use stepper drivers these days at silly low price from the Far East 

And many folk here who will step up and offer support
