probotix recommendation | | Hi ,
I built a Rockcliff based gantry router last year and was driving it with bipolar drivers which I built myself...motors were steppers salvaged from various old printers and copy machines .... they worked but not to my expectations.
I looked around and ended up buying the Probotix 3 axis bipolar kit.... I am in Australia so I don't have a big choice over here.
I am very pleased with the kit.... I am cutting at around 15 in/ min ,,, I have'nt tried to go any faster and fast moves are at 30"/ min.
They work flawslessly.
My main reason for buying this kit was that it had separate driver boards , and contained all the required parts,...... power supply, drivers , motors , breakout board, cables,all matched and all for less than it had cost to build from kits available in Oz. I run mach 3 by the way.
I heartily recommend the Probotix products and the service that Len provides is second to none.
