    Ray, lol yeah

    It was cnc on a serious budget. Ebayed steppers that had to be wired series to meet the controllers current limits and torque at speed didnt exist. This while also driving stock lead screws. Anyways it did work pretty well and allowed me to do alot of little projects.

    Adding my name to the Guinea Pig list for the 540 trial. Electronics and steppers have been ordered as well as the pulley for the Z. If things don't work out I always wanted to build a CNC router

    Thanks CR. for the advice!

    $289 G540 This IS a breakout board also.
    $098 Keling KL23H2100-35-4B 381 oz motors for X and Y
    $099 Keling KL34H295-43-8A 906 oz N34 motor for Z (Detunes to 520 oz W/G540. Changing Z pulley to 1.2:1 = 640 Oz)
    $060 Keling KL-350-48 48V/7.3A PSU. (This will handle 3 motors. 4th axis needs more amps.)
    ---------
    $546

    Will give an update soon as I get things running.

    Thanks all,

    Jeff
