RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Source for inexpensive drivers and stuff

Have a look at www.camtronics.com. I use the same components (L297/L298)
on boards of my own design and get great results. Rapids go up to 60IPM
(30 is practical on my machine). The best I could get with unipolar
drive was 9IPM.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jobshophomeshop I consider this to be a
