I was looking at the xylotec 4-axis kit for $475. It comes with steppers, drive box w/power supply, stepper drivers and parallel port. Am I correct in assuming this simply bolts on to the Taig mill with no further parts required? I viewed the deepgroove video and there were some plastic bits for attachment and I was wondering if I'll have to fabricate anything to get the standard nema 23 motors to attach to the "cnc ready" machine.
Also, there's no mention (other than 20tpi) of the quality of the screws on the Taig CNC mill. Are they quality ballscrews, ACME or worse? What are you guys getting in the way of backlash w/o modification? Are the various retailers (deepgroove, carter tools, etc) selling the same unit or does one seller maybe have better ballscrews, motor, etc?
Thanks!
