Hi Neale,

And you may well be right that this would be the best way forwards! My philosophy for most things is to buy well and buy once.

I suppose I was waiting for someone who has done similar mini mill conversions to come along and say that 68v is overkill for such a machine, and that you would be better using a decent 50v drive - like an EM503 - and a matching 45v PSU. Or whatever. It could save a few of those £s without affecting the performance.

But maybe the kit that is well proven for routers is equally suited to a mini mill? A well trodden path that simply works well. I have to say that the price difference between the EM503 and the EM806 (as examples) belies the much increased current and voltage capabilities of the higher spec drive....
