I'm looking for a good cheap setup to start my cnc.
I will use the said cnc to build small boat parts maybe someday airplane parts. and small pictures.
I seen a setup with 3 ASTROSYN STEPPER MOTOR NEMA 23, 3 MECHATRONICS BIPOLAR STEPER MOTOR DRIVE, and ONE DB25 BREAKOUT BOARD
But would like to see what other options I have first.
My price limit this week is around $150 for steepers & controls.
Anyone got any ideas where I can find a good deal, for what I need.
The HobbyCNC probably offers the best performance for the price, but is a bit more than you want to spend. www.hobbycnc.com
Thats pretty much what im looking for but just abit outa my price. (left hand ring deal)
The setup I listed above I found for $150 but the guys shipping is stupid.
I also was looking @ the for sale ads & someone has a i think it was 60oz setup, but not sure that would be strong enuff for me.
60 oz won t be strong enough , try ebay theres lots of motors on there
God I hate ebay.
Anyone know where I can get a good starter package.
Or maybe you have a good deal on a used setup.
I think I have 3 nema 34 130 oz. bipolars you can have for $25.00
plus shipping.
at 150 dollars budget iam sure that whatever you may find in that price range will most likely be disappointing unless you get extremely lucky and something falls on your lap , trust me i ve been there as well as many other guys , best thing to do is save a few more bucks and buy a good setup , because chances are the system will be weak and slow ,and if you are used to running cnc you will understand what i mean when i say that running at 5 to 10 in/min is like sitting on a stool to wait for death ,eventually you will get there but chances are you ll get so sick of waiting and move on to the next step
You might check to see if this is still available from Dizzy.
