    controller and stepper motors cheap?

    Guys,

    I was looking at a 3 axis kit and controller for $510. Its worth every penny but Im trying to get my Joes 2006 up and running on a shoe string and just wondering if there is a less expensive route to get started.

    thank you

    Not Building a Joes but,

    Hobby CNC Pro Chopper board $79

    36V Power supply (buildyourcnc.com) $59.95

    160 oz/in Vexta steppers on EBay ~$70 shipped

    My machine is the BuildYourCNC book build and it works great. The driver board needed to me assembled but it was pretty easy to do.

    R/
