Down Sizing to 5 axis.

I've heard of UCCNC but that's about as much as I know about it, be keen to follow along.

To be honest I never heard of it until Jazzcnc mentioned it in a comment. The controller (UC300ETH) appealed to me. Ethernet, 6 axis, high stepper pulse frequency, analog outputs and a load of I/O makes it pretty flexible for what I have in mind over the next few months. It's only Approx. 60 euro for a licence ( only works with their controllers ) That said you can hook up the controllers to Mach3/4 also. The BOB is very good spec also.
