    Thoughts on Probotix?

    I've been thinking about buying a 2 axis setup from Probotix. Anyone have any Pro's and con's for them?

    This would be for a CNC Taig lathe so I don't need "much" as I'll only be doing aluminum, brass, plastics and such.

    Thanks for any input you can kick in for me.

    Possibly this wasn't the best area or the no replies may have said it all , lol! http://cnczone.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

    I'll try in a different area -

    There are sub forums for Taig machines and mini lathes, maybe you would get more feedback there.

    I completely realize that but Probotix doesn't make parts just for Taigs specifically so putting it in that area would even be less of a shot finding info about them

    Have you looked at the Gecko 540? IMO, it is the BEST controller for a small mill.

    Thanks, CR, but as I mentioned above, I'm only looking for a 2 axis setup for a Taig lathe, and while I agree that the 540 is fantastic for a mill, I just think it's a bit overkill for my needs but thanks for replying -
