Hello all,
Here goes my first post. I am new to cnc world so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
I am trying to build a cnc machine with a low budget that can carve stone ,Metal, Wood, Plexiglass,....
I would like to use is not as a hobby but as a machine to create an additional income.
I have the Mach3 software. also I like to get the electronics as individual axis instead of all-in-one boards. I checked out the breakout boards and stepper drivers in
Adafruit Motor/Stepper/Servo Shield for Arduino v2 Kit [v2.3] ID: 1438 - $19.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits and https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13226 .
question 1* What is the minimum stepper motor power requirement for this operation?
2*What type of spindle will be appropriate for this project
I would really appreciated any help or suggestions.
Thanks
Alex
