Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: microstepping drivers

the rohs is importer and distributor (end-user) responsibility, i.e. mine.
and it does not apply to cnc mills, et al, which by their very
definition are fixed
machinery, exempt from rohs.

i agree its silly in many ways ;)
as they allow lead-acid batteries in cars but not lead solder.
the new lead-free solder is a much poorer substitute,
and the cars contaminate at least 100x all solder together.

but im still stuck without any resonable druver solution for slow speed,
under 30-50v drives.

for cnc saws i cant justify (2-3) geckos ... and the needed speed is
only about 2-4 rps.
xylotex are well known as good, reliable and well-supported, so im stuck
between the rock and the hard place.
the chinese imports cost more, and i have no expectacion of any kind of
proper tech support.
oh well ... still looking ...
