Well im thinking i will have to upgrade it at some point going by most of the posts about them.

So i have been looking at this http://www.diycnc.co.uk/html/system45.html and was thinking i have this kit i got from aliexpress http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6104230003.html ( was gonna make my own cnc ) and was thinking would this diycnc board be ok to run these stepper motors and utilize the 36a power supply from this kit.
Mike The kit you are referring to will still only take 40V psu so yes it will take the 36V psu you have but you are still throwing good money after bad. To run the motors you have you will need at least 50V psu. If you are up and running now how about getting some experience with the machine and cutting a few parts and then you have a better idea what you really want.

I am not trying to put you off, the trouble is these kits that you have seen are always a compromise and are put together with a mismatch of bits and you can do a lot better with sourcing the parts separately. As have been said many time on the forum a good place to buy the motors is cnc4you or Zapp and the drivers from aliexpress. ..Clive
