Have you bought a Chinese router already? If not, don't - it is relatively straight forward to buy the necessary stepper motors, stepper drivers, PSU and break-out boards for a lot less than robbing bits from a router. And the Chinese electronics are often considered inferior to alternatives.Quote:

At this point I'm going to advise reading and researching the build logs on this site and getting an understanding of what is needed to convert to CNC or build a router from scratch. You need an understanding and that can't be spoon-fed.
Ok, thank you so much for the advice mate
No, the steppers may be OK, the rest would be some of the first stuff to go in the bin when getting one to function properly.Quote:
