Well first off, I wish i had found this website before ... well before buying stuff.
So to all you new guys out there. Listen to the boys... if you have a X2.
Go with a G540 Driver and the 381 oz steppers from Keling Technology Inc. Dont argue. just do it.
I already had bought a 24 vdc 4 axis board on ebay but came from here : www.easy-cnc.com * Your best option in driver boards for CNC machines
I got some 276 oz stepper from Kelinginc...
Then put everything in the same box... shook it for a while and voila.. CNC.
For the moment i am still using the the stock lead screw and Z rack and pignon.
I am wondering how much more rapids can i get on a Ball screw vs the stock lead screw ????
Right now i could do 35-40 ipm but keep the X and Y at 30 IPM and z at 20 ipm.
Here is a couple pictures.
