Are you saying that a 3 axis board for under 100 is not a reality?
And what is the pport?
Thanks for your time!
Pport is parallel port but I get tired of all the letters so I abreviate some times.
Copier steppers and inexpensive boa rds get you a cheap machine that may or may not do what you want.
Even the xylotex which is good quality, but older technology is several hundred dollars.
I have no experience with what you linked to but $20/axis sounds to good to be true.
1. How big of a machine are you trying to build?
2. WHat kinds of material do you want to cut?
3. What is you total budget for the machine?
