My first CNC finally arrived! (6040)

In regards to question 1:
Having done a little more reading about drivers... I'm not sure the PlanetCNC drivers are right being only 50V max.. Am I right in thinking 80V drivers would be better?


If so, I'm either thinking DQ860MA (£135 for 3 from Germany)

Or the AM882 (Around same price but from China)

The question is if I can wait a little longer for the China ones..
If it's worth the upgrade, then I'll do it, but if not, then I'd rather not.. anxious to get cutting!

Why do you feel the need to upgrade.? If the machine is working then use it. When it breaks fix it.

Regards the Drives then you don't need 80v drives for machine this size. If your thinking to re-use for another machine then ok but for this machine then 50V drives and 44V PSU will be plenty good enough.

If you really do feel the need to upgrade the electrics then go with AM882.
