New to CNC and feel like on deep water

[TonyGR]

Hello all and thank you taking me as your member.
I am from Athens Greece and after all the lathes and 3d printers decided to start on CNC also.
Took from a friend a Biemmepi FP53 https://www.biemmepi.it/downloads/catalogo_FP_23_53_64.pdf that was functional but i knew there was a problem with one of the drivers, so i am deciding to take the Mach3 route with some DM556D driver and a control board but i have no clue how and where to start.
Any comments or ideas will be appreciated.

Looks like an interestingly built small form factor router - likely a little limited in what it can cut but a useful intro to CNC. I'd definitely strip down and test everything to understand how much can be re-used and you could save a lot of money that way. If you grab some photos of the boards and drivers you'll likely get some good advice from here.

So far has been there and done that. seems to have all other components functional, besides electronics. I will post later in the day pictures from many of the components, good thing is that my friend used to cut up to steel with this thing.
