Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Big, Cheap Power for Steppers

Ray,
Greetings from Manitowoc ! ( I am assuming "antigopro" is Antigo, WI)
Any neat deals up at that old Junk barn south of town ?? Warehouse sales ??
Whata place !

Anyhow, There sure is a really BIG empty hole in the market for an affordable
power supply to power some of these amplifier / driver cards. Overall, I find
most supplies out there to be quite overpriced.

It might make a great sideline for someone like you who probably knows how to
do this stuff in your sleep. I get a lot of individuals requesting a source for
an affordable power supply as they simply do not want to build their own from
scratch.

Make a few supplies.... put a website together.... Get a PayPal account.....
Sell, sell, sell ! You'll be rich in no time ! The hobby and retro CNC market
is not going away anytime soon. Someone with affordable power supplies could do
pretty good I think.
