    CNC Specialty Cut Gem Faceting Machine

    Hello All,

    I am in the final phase of the mechanical build for a 6 axis Specialty Gem Faceting machine. I am now in the process of setting up the electronics and am looking for a recommendation for a 6 axis breakout board. I have some CMD 260 drivers I am going to start with. I'll probably go with two G540's in the near future when funds allow but I already have these drives and will start with them. What 6 axis breakout boards would everyone recommend. I'd like to find a US seller cause I'm ready to start testing. I will be documenting the build and software setup here on the zone in the near future.

    Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

    Cool stuff.

    My grandpa used to do faceting. He made all kinds of jewelry. Was fun growing up and working with him in his shop.

    Dynomotions k-flop will work for up to 8 axis. They also provide free software for running things. Good luck.
