Alright , first off HI.

Been in machine work for some time but have never assembled anything CNC from scratch so I could REALLY use an outline. I picked up the start of a benchtop machine so getting it together and running is where I'm at.

Right now I have a Minitech chassis (3 axis) , Spindle drive set up , a set of Bi polar steppers and . . . well , that's it so far. I have Mach 3 to run it but I guess I'm going to need a driver/control board of some kind. Suggestions ? Other than that , I assume a PS for it and cabling , I'm I missing anything else ?

Thanks in advance for any help.


Jay.
