    Help on deciding on which Controler box to Purchase.

    As I did all my research here on this website I finally decided on 5 options for the controller box for my Cnc Ready 5410 Sherline mill.
    If anyone out there has a similar configuration like mine when you have time can you please give me your input on my choices pro's and con's
    It would help me out a lot to me because if I can avoided it I Really don't want to spend again and if I can I want the choices to be current
    to todays specs so that been said here are my choices.

    1) Art...... at Cnc4pc has a great product the
    CS4PA0-3 CNC Stepper Motor Control Box Kit
    plus you can also add the uc100 card the new
    software should be out this week. for $504.14 + 129.00 for the uc100 all in USD funds.

    2) Jeff at Xylotex has the
    4 Axis 36V 3.5A Drive Box with Four 269 oz.in. Stepper motors 4AX_36V_269_DB for $375 + B.b.b including software for around $95.

    3) Automation Technology have the
    4-Axis NEMA23 CNC Kit (36V/9.7A/270 oz-in/KL4030)
    for $419.00

    4) Then we have Imsrv which its called Sys3A is a fully assembled box, with e stop, fans, and various components not available by buying just motors and servo driver cards.It is a completer Servo motor controlled system box with 4 servo motors and cables, driver boards and DeskCNC cam and control software and its control board, powersupply and components installed in a box, with power and serial cables. ($1424 reg)

    5) finally we have the Sherline kit for cnc mill at $600 .I Know its alot to ask but if anyone out there are using thease types of compents please let me know what you think or suggestions like probes or expanadablity or reliability would be great.

    thanks.

    How about a G540 and a 48v power supply? Or a PMDX126 and drivers of your choice? CS Labs?
    A lazy man does it twice.
