    The perfect servo driver...

    Hey chaps,

    i have finally started reallly amassing parts for a 32x32x8" router table.

    i might use cheap Clifton $10.00 servos if i can. i got 1, it seems reasonable. just needs encoders.. with an encoder - each clifton is around $50.00

    Question: I know about geckos and IMservice drivers.. Geckos cost alot, and IMservice devices dont look so good and dont have lots of power..

    Any suggestions on other DC servo drivers? Should I just save my $$ and get Rutex or Gecko?


    i have NSK rails for X and Y, and thk for Z, etc.. etc.. i will probably use rack and pinion on x,y - and ballscrew on Z.

    i will!!! i need to do some photos to show where its at..

    in a few months, when i have all the parts, i am going to build a decent router tho - i need it to use for "rapid prototyping" product designs, such as : www.vaccumstudios.com/Demo2.html
