Yes I hate the bloody things far to fragile and underpowered, to me they are toys best left to kids to learn on.
Like you say the motors could be used for a small machine but why pay way over the odds for motors when for £75 you could have much stronger motors. The PSU isn't any use because to get any decent speed those motors want to be run with at least 36V and will happily take 48v which is much more like whats needed for router.
Limit switches are rubbish, Solid state relay is bad news for a CNC machine as they tend to fail on. That only leaves E-stop, Fan and connectors which are of any use and for those you'll be paying twice what they cost and that's if it stays at £125 because it doesn't have buy it now.!!
I see this all the time and sadly it's a classic mistake first time builders make.!!Last edited by JAZZCNC; 09-04-2014 at 10:05 PM.
