Re: Help with CNC "router"

Looks like we might have the controller with it, need to poke around more.

We came up with the basic simplest option. Use the x-y as is, sell the motors on it, make a basic z-axis w/ spindle, and then buy one of those high powered stepper motor, software and controller packages. This would get us about 16x48" of travel.

We still have more research to do, but we're committed to using this guy during our 2012 season.
