Hi All,

I need a controller for a wood router. Need to build a kit or buy a completed ready-to-run unit. I'm comfortable with building and troubleshooting kits.

The X & Y steppers are 594 in oz. These are 4 wire steppers running a rack and pinion drive. The Z stepper is 4 wire, 311 in-oz. running on a ballscrew. Best available information from the router manufacturer indicates that the motors have the following specs:

degree_____V_______A_____m.H._____N.m______L
.9/1.8_____6.4______2_____6.6_______4.2_____110
.9/1.8______3_______4_____4.5_______4.2_____110

Would geckos be a good choice for this application? If so, which ones? Anyone with a good reputation sell kits or completed units?

Any info really appreciated......

Yes geckos would work very well, use the 201 or 210.
