    I recommend the 12.5a on my site if 4 axis are planned but show that the 7.3 will work fine for 3 axis.
    Then you can get a 2nd 7.3 for 4-6 axis like I've done.
    Either/or for whatever is in the budget.

    You just answered a question I had Hoss.
    I was going to ask if I could just use a second $50 (7.3A) power supply for additional axis. Seems more cost effective to spend $100 for 14.6A (two $50, 7.3A power supplies), then to pay $130 for a 12.5A power supply.

    The 12.5A transformer isn't switching though so the two aren't really equivalent. You could pull a lot more than 12.5A out of it.

    I have 2 570oz/in and 4 381oz/in hooked up to mine which is 25A of peak current draw.

    The KL-600-48 48V/12.5A mentioned is a switching power supply too.
