Hey guys, I am in the planning phase of my CNC conversion for a G0704 and I am looking at electronics right now. I bought Hoss's plans awhile back and Ive been looking at a few of the options he has layed out. I have been bugging Hoss, but I figured a post may help and then I can stop bugging him so much lol.
Here is two of the options Hoss has put together that I am considering:
Its only an additional $158 to upgrade to the digital drivers and and the C11 board which would give me spindle control through mach. Id love to hear what everyone is running and how they like it? How is reliability? I don't need insane rapid speeds, and Im not putting this together for production. I do however hope to get reasonably good surface finishes on alum.
Let me know what you guys think. Is it worth it to spend the extra coin and get the digital drivers, or should I save the money and put it towards something else.
Thanks
Ryan
