Thanks.
Can't wait until the new Maplin store opens up in September here in York - would be dead handy for this sort of thing, especially as it happens to be on my way home from work :-)

Register with Farnell... cheaper than maplin, postage free, no minimum order
Here you go 10 for a £1

Just a note for anyone else planning to do this... a safety point that is not stated in the article referenced:
When connecting two or more supplies in series to give 24, 36, etc volts - the one that isn't modified (i.e. still has the case connected to the negative output) MUST be the bottom one in the stack. I know its probably obvious but its not explicitly stated and is a big omission IMHO..

Thanks both - had ordered from Rapid before but had forgotten Farnell - do remember their paper catalogue from years ago!
Good point Irving.
Another point is that once you stack three of them up it gets pretty bulky. I'll also need to make quite a large cutout or series of cutouts in the back of my enclosure for all the fans to exhaust through.

Thanks for editing that Irving :)
(It's a real pain to edit with Opera on an PDA )

For some reason

seems even cheaper than normal Farnell - and free shipping if over £10 today at least...

Good price here on Ebay for e-stops. Ordered two. Already got one e-stop in with the DIYCNC bundle but want one on the driver box, one on the machine (X-Y section) and another on the Z-axis assembly.
