Re: new to the hobby

Marios,

I recommend a P5 intel processor or higher PC and GeckoDrives for
your stepper or servo system.

You can always add another drive for a mill.

Camtronics has a nice box and connectors for mounting Gecko drives.
This would make it easy to switch between the two machines using the
same drive system.
