Hi guys, been lurking around the forum for a while since recently I finally decided to build my CNC.
I will be building a Joe 2006 R2 and will be using it to cut mostly MDF up to 25mm (about 1").
And also will be the standar build (1/2" 10 leadscrews, everything in Joes' manual)
Steppers and such will be bought from Automationtech and will be one of these: Decision went from the 3rd choice to the 1st one because initialy I thought to get in less trouble with the wiring with the Gecko, but then I saw the 2nd choice and though "same price but 66% more power", but then I saw the 1st choice and a difference in price but much better motors (2.5 inductance, nice!).
1st choice and probable purchase 2nd choice 3rd choice (3) KL23H2100-50-4B 570 oz-in stepping motors, NEMA 23
Phase 2 - Inductance 2,5 - Current 5A - Resistance 0,6om - Voltage 3V
(3) KL-6050 Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver
(1) 48VDC /12.5A Power Supply 110VAC/220VAC
(1) C10 Breakout board
(1) 5V power supply 110VAC/220VAC(3) NEMA23 570 oz/in 3.5A 1/4” Dual Shaft Stepper Motor (KL23H2100-35-4BM)
Phase 2 - Inductance 6.4 - Current 3.5A - Resistance 1.2m - Voltage 4.2V
(3) KL-6050 Drivers (5 Amp 24-60 Volts)
(1) 48VDC/10A Power Supply 110VAC/220VAC
(1) C10 Breakout board (E-Stop, limit switch can be wired)
(1) 5V power supply 110VAC/220VAC3 pcs NEMA23 KL23H2100-35-4A(1/4” Single shaft with a flat) 381 oz-in
Phase 2 - Inductance 2.8 - Current 3.5A - Resistance 0.73ohms - Voltage 2.55V
1 pcs G540 4 axis driver with 4pcs DB9 connectors
1 pcs KL-350-48 48V/7.3A 115V /230VAC power supplyPrice $489.95 Price $428.35 Price $439.95
For the router, I will likely buy a Hitachi M12VC ($116 on amazon), but have also considered a Dewalt DW618 and Makita RF1101.
So, do you consider that if I get 1st choice from AT, the Hitachi router and build a Joe 2006 R2, I will be able to get decent cut speed and rapids for MDF? What about other matherials (acrylic, and some harder kinds of wood)?
Thanks in advance!
