I don't know much about it other than after reading up on this forum, most people recommended the Xylotex instead.
There is a thread by Cold Fusion on this forum, he built a DIY router and cuts aluminum quite a bit. I think that he had a $500 budget and ended up spending $1400. Check it out.
By Graham S's figures, you would spend $469.50 on a servo system. You still need a DC power supply, cabling, control box, and most people use a breakout board. That's roughly $250 more.
I'm not sure what reads the encoders, is it the Gecko's or something else?
JavaDog, Balsaman is selling it for $2500. My guess is that it cost about $1000 to $1500 to build. |
