I will be working mostly on wood and perhaps some aluminium.
The kits that I found are 4.2 ampers for motor with either CW5045/DM542
or
tb6560 for 3.0A motor with 3.5A drivers and 36V power supplies.
The DM542's are a great driver and pretty bullet proof, I would suggest don't even bother wasting your time on anything TB6560 based, you'll be bitterly disappointed and after spending weeks of time trying to turn that pigs ear into a silk purse, will go and buy better drivers.
A 48VDC PSU would be much better than a 36VDC PSU in this case.
cheers, Ian
It's rumoured that everytime someone buys a TB6560 based board, an engineer cries!
