DIY PSU build query...

[JAZZCNC]

My curiosity was piqued by Jazz saying that a 6A PSU didn't allow much leeway for expansion.

This here is exactly why you shouldn't buy anything until you fully understand what's been said and why.!

My suggestion to that person to use a toroidal over a the 6A PSU would have been based on them using both the secondary coils.

Building a PSU isn't difficult and the best choice for a CNC machine but you can't just guess at it.

My strong advice is DONT buy anything until you have researched exactly what your building and what components your going to use. Even then the electronics are best left until the end of the build.

If your not sure what you need then ASK don't read posts taking bits from here and there because often you'll put 2 & 2 and end up at 6 because there are so many different ways of doing this it's easy to misunderstand, even if you think you do.! So Unless your 100% sure it's correct for your needs then just ASK for a second opinion before buying.
