Hello,

I'm looking for a control board recommendation for a new board for a simple 3 axis CNC mill. I've settled on Delta B3 servos, ideally the multi-turn absolute CA encoder versions, for the x, y, and z axes. These can be purchased with standard -L drives or etherCAT -E drives. I'm also running a servo with encoder for the spindle motor. I'll be using Mach4 to run everything. Ideally, I'd have a control board that supports the following features:

- rigid tapping (synchronized z and spindle using encoder outputs), mostly used with smaller taps (1/4"-20 / M6 and smaller)
- support for the B3's CA multi-turn absolute encoder for maintaining servo (and thus axis) positions through power on/off cycles
- connection to computer via ethernet or similar; I don't want to be using expansion cards

I haven't purchased the servo drives yet so I'm not locked into etherCAT or standard wiring configurations. Once I've found a control board that will work for me, I'll order the corresponding drives to work with it.

I appreciate any input anyone has on a control board for this build. My budget is not huge, but I'm willing to pay what's necessary to put together a robust, capable system. I just don't want to spend more than is necessary.
