Re: Re: Sherline retrofit for CNC

Mario,

Here's a link to a quick 'n dirty page I just posted. Have pics of both
the nuts and thrust plates.

For steppers and drivers, I'd recommend the very best you can afford. If
you can scored something like the Compumotor OEM 650
drives I did for $125 ea, grab them, if you can afford it. Else, I'd
recommend looking at Dan's amps. Stepper motors, I really like Pacific
Scientific. Must have been some folks sleeping off the holiday, I scored
some 253 oz/in steppers w/dampers for $20 ea on Ebay! Hunt around, Ebay
is a good source, but it really helps if you have mfg catalogs to look
these things up and know what you are bidding on. I'm using Ah-ha right
now, and while I find it rather quirky in some respects, I like it. BTW,
most any program is going to be "quirky" if you are used to something
else...
