Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Was Chopper circuit - Now ver 3.2

Well I to would love to have Gecko drives,for all that I have heard
and read about them they look realy good, but I to have to look at the
cost of shipping,duty,goods and service tax(GST)and our provincial taxes
puts 3 201,s at $600+ and 3 of 210,s at over $720+ dollars CDN

I am not bitchin just trying to stay in my budget. Thats why I am looking
for ones I can build with the help of my brother inlaw to stay with in the
budget I set up for my CNC project.
