I bought mine from Nick and was not disappointed. He goes above and beyond for support. He is absolutely knowledgeable.
I went with the xylotex full setup kit. I have had no problems there either.
I looked at the deepgroove one as well when I was first looking. One of the things that deterred me from that was the stepper motors.
I forget now exactly what the information I found was but it was something to this extent:
I had posted or read on a thread that for a smaller machine a larger stepper like on the deepgroove is unecissary and in fact undesireable. From what I recall they provide more low end torque than the small taig can handle and they dont perform as well at highr speeds. I forget the specifics but that was close to the gist of it.
I do remember that the 260 oz steppers that come with the xylotex were said to be ideal.
Saved some cash doing it this way..
I would definately use Nick for the mill at least and the controller too if you feel more comfortable.
I have been interacting with another thread wiith some poor guy who bought a complete system from someone else and cant get the guy he bought it from to respond to get any support to get it running. Been over a week and his mill hasnt moved
I can tell you by going with nick and xylotex they responded quickly to get me up an running. I was a complete novice and the first day I had movement and believe me I asked questions up the wazoo.
Just my 2 cents about my experience.  |
