$2000 INCLUDES a NEW, UNUSED, NEW PRODUCTION, Made in USA, Sherline
5400 CNC ready milling machine and a fully assembled, 3-Axis servo
controller, 3 NEW, UNUSED, NEW PRODUCTION, Made in USA, Globe servo
motors w/ encoders and with timing belt reduction drive assemblies,
all servo, power, and control cables, AND a license for DeskCNC
software.

The controller is mounted in a Nema 12 steel case, and has a cooling
fan, safety enable circuit, E-stop, and probe input connection. The
DeskCNC sontroller runs at 125,000 steps per second, which is plenty
to run the servos at 112937 sps in 4X mode.

You will need a 200 mhz(or faster) Windows computer running Win 98
or later, with a serial or USB port. Tiger Direct has new ones for
$300.

The machine rapids at 50 inches per minute on all 3 axes.

Unassembled 3 axis kits are also available, starting at $675 for a
TurboCNC DOS package or $899 for a DeskCNC. Unassembled does not
mean solder the board up, it means wire up your own controller and
put it in your own enclosure. All the components included in the
kits are the same as we use in our assembled systems.

The DeskCNC servo system runs circles around the Xylotex on a
Sherline, Taig, MaxNC, micro and mini mill.
