Okay, so George convinced me on getting the Leadshine MX3660 and nema 23 kit plus power supply.
I have been reading up on it and doesnt look to difficult to wire up. I might end up doing something a little "fancy" and wire up a serial connector to each stepper motor input and one to each stepper motor them selves.
Would there be a need to wire in a resistor for each of the stepper motors when wiring them up to the driver?
Most serial port connectors can't carry enough current for stepper motors. Imo, you're better off running the stepper wires right into the drive.
No, you don't add any resistors in the motor wires.

There goes being "fancy"! Thanks for the heads up about the serial port cables and resistors.
Like Ger says, just wiring with no add-ons is best. Just get good flexible wiring , shielded 18 gauge . Igus is about best wiring

Do you guys recommend a cable with 4 conductors or single wires and bundle them?
4 conductor.

Hey George, when is the Leadshine 4 axis driver coming out?
Is the MX4660 out yet?
Was told by George MX4660 won't be out till September. So I guess I'm going with the MX3660.
Started building the Table with Xzero table brackets.
Its been awhile but I finally got the Table done and started building the beast

Quick disconnect for the Teknomotor spindle.
Can anyone tell me what these holes are for? Theres 2 set on either end of the machine.
I didn't realize you answered this George. Hope you are getting better. Hope you can get back to full time running xzero.
