Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Maxnc and Gecko 201's

Hi John,

WORKS FOR ME! I really enjoy my G210's (4 axis) on my Sherline. And
this is an OLD Sherline (I'm gonna get a new one... soon). Nothing 2nd
class about Sherline! I can also get a little more resolution using the
microstepping drives (smooth, too!).

The PS/Driver boxes I build have connectors for the motor cables (as I
think all should have), so I can unplug it and drive something else,
later. Like an EMCO 5" lathe, or even my RF-31, although since I found
some good servo motors, I think I'll experiment with G320 there.
