Ebay CNC Motor/Driver Kit - Please recommend one

[Rich]

Hi Glyn,

There a lot to be said for safety in numbers when it comes to buying electronics ) Especially when it comes to ordering the various component parts. It can sound like you are being presented with a narrow path, but its not, its sound advice that will save you time and money.

If you have not already done so, it is worth scanning/reading through the Mach 3 product manuals. They have useful things to say about the relative importance of the electronics you chose and how everything fits together.

Should you find the time, I would recommend scanning through this document - just the relevant bit towards the start:

You may not plan to complete the machine with a motion control card in place, but it is worthwhile planning the purchase of your BOB with one in mind - IMHO. It all looks a bit daunting at the start, but honestly, it doesn't take long before you will be looking at those Ebay deals in a different light.
