NO NO NO another big mistake often made is thinking BOB's are simple things so cheap will do.!! . . . They handle all the signals all the Data passes thru them and good stable CNC machine is all about the quality of the signals feed to it. So no matter how good the signals going in if those signals get corrupted by cheap nasty BOB they will come out fuzzy wuzzy and the Machine will perform Fuzzy wuzzy.!!

Many many hours, days,weeks and not mention Hair have been lost to poor quality BOB's.
