I have a Denford Easiturn 3 which had old electronics which did not work and i have removed them. I then thought i would reuse the steppers and drivers or steppers and the likes of the Leadshine 882 or if new servos are a direct replacement (mechanically) then the BST servos at about £250 each looks a decent bet.
On the controller front the Chinese controllers look a better bet than the mach3 bits and pieces which look like a project in themselves. A decision must be made before the controller is purchased as i believe i must specify incremental or absolute type (whatever that means?).
I was looking at the GSK clones such as Newker http://newker-cnc.com/index.php?m=co...=166&l=3&id=91
