I just ordered a nice 3 axis controller for $90, and an 8amp 24v power supply for $40!

I already have two steppers on the way, thought I kind of anticipate they will be too small for the size table I want to build (12"X2 or so-). I could use the smaller ones for a "baby CNC" just for resist pen, or sharpie on paper, or whatever else comes to mind. The big table should be able to house a Dremal or Roto, not sure which.

Anyway, most of the core parts are on order- I guess I should start building a frame!

Where did you order your components from? I'm currently looking for the same items.

Thanks

The controller looks very sweet! This is my first venture into CNC, but electronics is old hat.

Look in Ebay for the words 'Stepper Motor' and you'll find similar boards that start at $49.95 and mostly go for this price. I was lucky and I got, today delivered as a matter of fact, this board, which is has the same specs as the one above only that you can't change the chip as easy. I hope it will never come to this.

For motors I got these. To be delivered around the 7th.
