Ethernet motion controller on a belt driven CNC with a Kress router? Isn't it a bit overkill? Of course you recommended the best price/value controllers but if this router had been mine, the first upgrade would have been ballscrews, not a fancy industrial grade motion controller. And the second, the spindle and still happy with the old printer port

It's probably because I enjoyed learning about the parallel port while trying to use a laptop for my cnc and bought a BoB kit, with filtering and signal conditioning chips, soldered by me piece by piece. I still respect my first BoB and it still serves me well
