It's the path less traveled. Or at least on this forum. I use emc2 and like it very much.
- Gecko G540 4-axis step motor drive
Looks like a real bargain and buying one myself. Should work fine with emc2 (but there is a weird and lengthy thread going on in the gecko forum). Honestly this should work out fine. It's not scaring me away from buying. Kelinginc can package it with ps and motors. Might save a few bucks.
- Micro-Mill CNC kit #1 from cncfusion.com
I have a mini-mill (X2) kit from them. Cncfusion is golden imo. Nice folks.
My budget is NZD$3000~4000.
No clue what it costs to import stuff in NZ. Best guess: costly I'll assume you already own the mill.
Anyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.
