Does the CNC have the original drivers? If so, my setup works fairly well and was dirt cheap. If you need to replace the old drivers, I think you would be better off with a more modern micro-stepping controller, or better yet, servos. The problem here is doing it with a tiny budget. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
