    Electronics

    ok, i'm working on a cnc router table. i've got all of the table things planned out except for how i'm going to drive the steppers. i don't know where to start. Should I buy stepper controllers or build the board. where can I buy the controllers? like i'm a bit burnt out from designing and just want a simple quick buy. also, how do you program the router where 0,0,0 is? One more thing, is there interfaces for sensors and spindle control?

    What size steppers are you using? This may determine what type of drivers to buy.

    You could aways put in an order for phils build your self stepper driver cards if your steppers are not too big.
