Had a look at the CS labs stuff, think it's a bit out of my price range at the moment!!!

I originally looked at the CNCdrive products as they seemed very reasonably priced, so think I might end up with some of their products, and servos probably from china if they have decent encoders on them.

The machine I have is a Denford Triac, which I would like to have something like a Centroid or CSlabs control set up for, but at the moment can't justify the expense!! I'd rather be using the mill rather have it sat there another year or so while I try and save up!!

I have another CNC machine I'm building which only needs to index between cuts being taken, so my thoughts were to go with a budget set up on the Triac, and then as and when funds allow upgrade the control system on that, and transfer the budget set up to the new machine.

While I would like to be able to go straight for a CSlabs set up, there seem to be plenty of machines in use that use cheaper parts and perform perfectly well
