It's here and getting assembled

What router did you get?

I got the MDL-2-TR-UN model and that is why I am looking to extend the Z depth ability as it is not quiet the depth I need but everything else so far looks good. I have attached a set of NEMA 23's from Stepperworld.com and using their breakout board with 6 1.5 ohm in line resistors (one per power line) as it came with three and joining the ground lines together (have seperated them as there is hook ups to do so).

Running BobCAD-CAM and Mach 3 (FULL). Learning is very steep in some parts and easy as pie in others. Right now looking for collets for the Kress 1050 other than Kress or Kevin and prefering ones with a tight TIR also looking at a few different milling cutter sets for wood and non ferrous metals. Any suggestions will be appreciated. RDG Tools is looking mighty nice right now for milling bits.

Can recommend RDGTools, Chris (he and his Dad run the place) has always been very helpful...

It moves and is assembled but not completely smooth yet and life moves on (hopefully in a positive direction).

For those that know the different test runs in Mthe is great news on the build front. We have road runner (love the resizing tool in LazyCAM). Working with soft limits at the moment and putting in the second 2NC so that the board will get the feed back from the Estop but other than that things are moving ion a very positive direction and should have pic's/video up soon. Cutting will starting very shortly. Now comes making sure it all runs smoothly.
