I'm surprised no one has mentioned that a 400 pound knee is a lot of mass to move when doing rapid moves in Z like peck drilling, even if it's perfectly counterbalanced. It's going to take a pretty healthy stepper or servo to get much acceleration. Why do you want to move the knee instead of the quill?
