Re: HOBBYCNC

For the record, the Hobby CNC 3 axis driver board kit sells for $40,
60% less than the cost of the Xylotex. Assembled units sell for
$65. This is 35% less expensive then the Xylotex board. Yes, the
Xylotex is a very good value. BOTH have a max voltage ratiing at
35VDC. Just clearing up some information.
