Hi folks
Having built my own CNC mill (if you can call it that) I have had a spate of recent problems which have led me to suspect the kit i chose for the project. I did not know whether I could make a success of it so was maybe a bit frugal when buying the gear.
I am beginning to wonder if I might have been better advised to spend more in order to get better quality.

But which equipment should I buy ?
Which drivers ? Where should I go for stepper motors ? Do I go for an all singing/ dancing breakout board or one which is little bore than a joint box,
Is it better to have discreet electronics such as a spindle board or is it ok to have that function incorporated in the BOB.

Take for example stepper drivers .
For a middle of the road price of just under £40 but carriage and Vat takes it to pushing £60 I can have one of these . https://www.cnc4you.co.uk/Microstepp...tepping-CW5045

Or I can get four of these carriage paid for the same outlay .https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...2/333613460893

And how on earth do I know if there is any difference .

If you were putting together a kit to build a CNC mill then which kit would you select.and which suppliers would you use ??
