servo control vs stepper control

[Peter.]

Thanks Jazz & Boldford. Seems i have the choice of either similar to the similar unit to above or smaller 0.34Kw Berger Lahr motors, or itsubishi motor with J2s-40A drive, which on doing some quick research seems like it might accept 5v signals anyway.

Please tell me, aside from the drive controllers and breakout board, what other fundamental hardware am I looking for?

Presume you mean electrical hardware.? If so then Nothing really other than PSU(s).

Stating the obvious; a PC running Mach3 or LinuxCNC would be useful too.
