    New 12x12 with USB questions

    Hi,

    Right now im putting together a list of things i need for a CNC machine this is what i have:

    Zen toolworks 12x12 kit

    and i was wonder if anyone had any experience with a CNC USB controller form planet CNC, CNC USB controller I was going to sue that for the CAM and controller software as well because it will run via USB and on a 64 bit machine.

    Also i was wondering what kind of power supply you would suggest getting for this. and i was leaning toward one that might be able to handle a fourth axis in the future.

    Thanks,
    Nat

    If fourth axis means a rotary stage, it is probably not working at the same time as all the other axes, so I wouldn't have thought you had to increase the supply size to handle it.
