RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Taig cnc ready help for a newbie

I have a Sherline, so I can't speak to the issue of swaping out the
motor. However, I'm using the Xylotex driver and am very pleased with
it. I've tried using the Mach software, but just didn't care for it.
The typical benefit of Windows software is the user interface. Mach had
plenty of functionality, but my mind kept fighting with the interface
layout. Anyhow, I've been trying out TurboCNC for DOS and find I can
operate things a lot quicker with the keyboard. This is just a personal
preference, though, and not a slam against Mach. I'm sure it's very
capable software or there wouldn't be so many users. As far as a power
supply goes, a few people on the Xylotex group, including myself, have
purchased the following:
http://www.herbach.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HAR&
Product_Code=TM00PWS4420&Category_Code=PWS. It provides 24VDC @8A and
5VDC for the logic, which is nice with the older Xylotex boards. I
don't know if the newer Xylotex requires the same logic power supply. I
got my 282oz-in steppers from http://www.seanet.com/~dmauch/. He is out
of these motors, but I think he has some ~250oz-in available.

Good luck,
Archie

Hello guys. I am new to the cnc milling scene and have been doing
lots of reading the last couple of weeks and need some help to setup
a Taig cnc ready mill.

Can someone please recommend a good setup for a Taig. I will mostly
be dealing with Aluminum metals. I need a setup that can work with
metals for long periods of times!!!

----Setup i am thinking about----

MILL...Taig CNC ready mill 2019CR

SOFTWARE....I would like to run a XP Windows based software if posible
(guessing Mach 2).

DRIVER BOARD... XYLOTEX Three Axis Stepper Motor Drive

STEPPER MOTOR....???? Need help here. I am guessing something with
200-300oz

SPINDLE MOTOR.....???? Need help here. Is the one that comes with the
Taig good or can it be upgraded to something with a more powerfull
motor for working with metals?

POWER SUPPLY....??? Need help here.

All comments are welcome
Thanks in advance guys for your help
A.j
