Hirudin, I finally got a chance to open that model in Solidworks. Wow! there's a lot of detail. This will definitely come in handy when designing a stand and enclosure.
Ok, 2 more (possibly silly) questions:
1) If I order from Keling, I was planning to get the KL23H256-21-8B stepper for x and y and the KL23H276-28-4B stepper for the z-axis. With these, what value of current limiting resistors would I need? These are just regular resistors, right? I figured "current limiting" just refers to their application.
2) I was looking at the manual for the G540, and I see a VFD DRIVE as one of the components. It took a lot of searching to figure out that meant variable frequency drive (don't laugh). Is this just for a variable speed spindle? Should I just ignore that part?
Thanks again to everyone's input. My final list of everything I'm going to buy initially is almost finished. Hopefully, my "funding" will show up in the next couple of days, so I can start ordering!
