You need to account for the force needed to actually machine the part, not just the force needed to physically move the head back and forth.
for a CnC machine that sounds like yours and I think I will be alright.

If I go with 4x torque than what I have calculated, would it be safe choice? Really have no idea what to aim for as I have never worked with CNCs before.
Do you have you eye on any software?
