Ron Ohh yeah I do see your logic of you using what is working for you.My situation is a bit different .I did not go with Gecko drives because my servo motors are higher voltage than the Geckos are rated to output.And my other old cnc mill that I will upgrade later has even larger servo motors so working through this upgrade will teach me quite a bit about what I'll need to know to do the other mill , which is a much more complicated machine. I am not going to use Mach2 controller because it takes a Microsoft OS that I dont have or want. Now I will say that I need to build a cnc cutoff saw..I am working to begin manufacturing a product requiring a lot of short pieces of 3/4" brass tube,1/4" square , and 5/16" round stainless steel..For that cnc project, small steppers and Geckos would be more than adequate. Thanks Steven

These three components for CNC make the build and resulting machine very pleasant and reliable. They all work together for very smooth and predictable operation. I had very little prior electronics experience when I put mine together and it was easy. Just follow the directions and they are practically plug and play. Each of these manufacturers seem to be diligently upgrading and perfecting their products. Making them even better than they already are. I'm going to do another one and I'll be using the exact same configuration. I can't say from limited experience if its the best route but I stick with what works. > > Ron > >been removed] Addresses: FAQ: http://www.ktmarketing.com/faq.html FILES: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO/files/ Post Messages: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Moderator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Moderators] URL to this group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO OFF Topic POSTS: General Machining If you wish to post on unlimited OT subjects goto: aol://5863:126/rec.crafts.metalworking or go thru Google.com to reach it if you have trouble. http://www.metalworking.com/news_servers.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jobshophomeshop I consider this to be a sister site to the CCED group, as many of the same members are there, for OT subjects, that are not allowed on the CCED list.
