Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] want inexpensive 4 Axis CNC controller - plans? suggestions?

MJW, I've recently just put together a board called MM2001 v0.62 its from
CNC@net http://www.teaser.fr/~osegouin/ is the link to their site.The
origin of this board is in France [ I believe as the website is in french] I
bought mine from a fella off ebay, 3 years ago and finally go the nerve to
try and put it together. It came as a kit and you get to do all the
soldering. It was very easy actually. The only issue I have currently is
some of my components aren't labeled so I don't know which of these last
diode's go where. I haven't got it operating yet so.. who knows how it will
work. Anyway.. its one version of a foam cutter, there may be better/newer
versions out there now.... Do some searches on the web for CNC foam cutter
and you'll find all kinds of things. Guys offering plans etc.

My 2 cents..
Jarrett Johnson
