542 Vs Geckodrive boards?

[JAZZCNC]

I fried 12 of Marriss's 210's. Only to be told it was my motors, wiring, position of the moon etc.

Well that was abit careless of you wasn't it John.!! . . . Should have been obvious you dropped crumbs into the pins of the first drive shorting the buggers which sent the moon into reverse so reversed the polarity and fried the rest. .


Yes I know you had your nose bent with these John but in the main you must admit Gecko's service on the whole is top notch and the drives are very good.

I got the first two or three replaced free but after that it was £125 a pop once duty was taking into account, so it cost me serious coin plus loads of down time on a commercial machine. So I cannot agree that their service is top notch.

I wouldn't piss on a Gecko if it was on fire, just not got enough piss :rofl:

The first Leadshines cost about £72 inc duty etc and these three are still on the machine from when I fitted them back in '05 or '06
