Re: Building a cnc router

I'm re-doing the electronics on an old Shop-Bot Alpha. I'll be using a DynoMotion K-FLOP board and a Hitachi VFD with a 2.2KW chinese water cooled spindle. The K-FLOP comes very highly recommended, but I haven't tried it out yet. In theory I'll have it done this summer, but I said that last summer.

www.cnczone.com is a great resource for this sort of project.
