Here is a video of my nearly finished cnc router/plasma cutter.

I have a bit more to do in that I have to build the plasma cutter torch holder and make the clips to hold the metal from the bottom. I need to make the vertical stand parts also.
The idea of my machine was to build a simple cnc router that I could roll around my shop and when not using it store it vertically and out of the way.
I'm using a rack and pinion drive with 2 452 oz in bipolar parallel wired motors driving the Y axis. The right hand motor is slaved to the other motor using Mach3 software. I'm using the Gecko G203 step motor drivers. I just finished routing a new address sign for my house with this machine. I'll soon post a short video of it running.
I live about 1/3 of a mile from the Woodinville McLendon's. God Bless McLendon ! While I built this mostly from parts I already had, it seemed like I was running down to Mclendos every time I worked on the machine to get a fasterner or something. They always had what I needed whether it was metric or imperial.

Hi All,
I've got this Fanuc yellow cap 20M (23Nm TRQ, 18 Amp, 213V 1500RPM)
DC brush motor . I'm driving it with onther brand drive (Rutex R2020)
never burning the 10 amp fuse !
Is there any way I can drive it by the G320?
Thanks,
Shadi Salhab
