Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Source for inexpensive drivers and stuff

Why not stick with Gecko's?
You cant go wrong with them and thier customer support is the best in the industry, not to mention that there products are very reliable and precise.
Myself, I wouldnt skimp on the drivers. After all, thats the heart of any good CNC stepper system or servo system.
Just my two cents worth.

Hello all,

Just joined the group. I've been lurking for a bit now, finally got
around to it...

I just finished building my CNC Router. (24"x26"x5") It came out
better than expected. Now that I have it up and running (and making
money) I am looking at building another, smaller CNC, probably a
Dremel tool type, 12"x12"x3" (for engraving only)

This is my query: On my first machine, I used Gecko's, a nice power
supply from Microkinetics and some beefy motors. While these all work
quite well, they tend to drive up the overall cost of the project.
Would anyone know where I could find some rather inexpensive motor
drivers? What about a power supply? I'm thinking about using NEMA
23's, which should be more than enough. Whatever I get, it has to be
simple, inexpensive, and already or mostly assembled. i'm a
machinist, not an electrical engineer. :)


Thanks in advance

Seth
