Matt:

I built the 2 amp board with no problems. Just be careful of solder bridges
and inspect your board with a magnifier. Of course, you're aware that the
kit is not the only thing that you'll be building. There's an enclosure for
it with the appropriate switches, connectors, fuses, etc. And, there's also
the power supply. Folks here say that you don't need anything that's tightly
regulated. Any transformer, capacitor, and bridge will work. However, I
bought a used highly regulated supply. Not for the regulation but because
the price was close to the cost of a capacitor, transformer, and bridge. My
controller cabinet was built from a Philmore plastic box and the power
supply cabinet was built from 1/2 inch MDF board which was then painted a
hammertone grey.

Well after some really helpful advice from this group I have decided
to give CNC a try. I am considring going the "roll your own" and am
consdiring going with camtronics stepper motor kit. I am a little
apprehensive about assembling the unit. Is it difficult? I have
some soldering experince from back in the R/C car racing days but
that is the extent of my knowledge. Any alternatives I should look
into? I have also looked into a Maxnc motion control kit but from
what I have read so far the 70oz motors the kit comes with would
probably be a bit on the weak side...still the price seems right :)
As always thanks for the help.

Matt
