I like the worm for a drive. It provides the best ratio and the least
backlash. It also acts as a brake while the slide is under the pressure
returned by the cutter. Backlash invites oscillation and vibration in a
loose drive. Real controls deal with this using tachometers to sum opposite
dc voltage into the drive amplifier. The control says go forward and the
tach says no. This allows high gain for that small move and control for the
high speed move.
This machine has worm in every axes,

Is this Lego?
Every imperfection from the position device to the tip of the cutter results
in an inaccurate cut. In the real world there are many expensive solutions
to this problem. Lego screams "TOY" and requires a tight system.
This is my worst position design

This is my best. Look at the bottom of the page. The rotation sensor is
driven by the ring gear on the "C" rotary axis. You cannot see the gearing
but the wire from the blue brick is the rotation counter. This is "C"
because the rotary table is rotating around Z. This machine is a little
confusing. It is a vertical Z.

Hope some of this gives you ideas.
