    CNC Controller Advice Needed For homemade cnc mill

    http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Axis-tb6560-CN...ht_4683wt_1137


    Could anyone tell me how good this would be as a controller for a 3 axis mill. I will be using 3 nema 23 steppers and will probably drive them at 24-36 at 2 to 3 amps. Is this a good price/quality ratio. I am great with electronics but 60 dollars seems like a good deal to save me the time of gathering all of the parts, soldering etc.

    THanks!

    They should work if your power is 24v. If it approaches the max rating of the board, you will risk failure from transient voltage spikes. However, you will likely only get 1/2 the performance of a drive that can handle 50v.
