    I am looking at building a Rockcliff machine. Having modeled it from the plans I can understand the mechanics of it and will learn its weaknesses soon enough.

    what components are required to make it move?
    PC with design software and then postprocessor (mach 3).
    A controller is then connected to parallel port. Is the controller also the power supply for the motors?

    I would like to buy what's required even before I start the build so that I can setup the motors and get them spinning asap.

    Having purchased the MDF, I will hopefully start a build log soon.

    And does the controller also manage the limit switches too?

    Skittles, have have you looked into this yet?
