Re: Grizzly

Ward,
No it's just plans. The MAXNC is a crap item, and I will have to do
something about it.

I was going to do a swap with someone on this list a complete 4 axis
stepper driver set for a complete set of acme lead screws nuts and the
whole zero backlash kit for the MAXNC, but they never followed up with
the pictures they promised, and I lost the address, well I can find the
address if I restore it from a backup tape and do a lot os searching...
May be they will read this...

Now I have 4 stepper drivers as per my modular design, expect I'll find
a use for them sooner or later...

I used the boards Greg(from Canada) made, he based it more or less on my
design. Turned out ok...

The Grizzly just looks like a whole lot of mill for a small price...
