THC + Low cost retrofit??? possible??

[Zriuz]

Well i'm new to this deal and super consufed, all i see its circuit boards with no define use or patter.

I'm i'm traying to get enough info to start building my own plasma cutter. I don't have experience machining but i weld and I design in Autodesk inventor. so i guess i could design it and get the parts machine localy by a friend. I'm looking for something cheap to control the 3 axis of table, low cost retrofit its the cheapest kit i seen and comes in a package easy for me to understand. but i don't see a THC in it... its the THC a stand alone unit that will work independent from the motor controller??? or i'll have to reject the whole low cost system and use something alse (due that i don't know what to use) that will controll all together??? I got 5k to build or either get all the electronic equipment, i'll have to get more money for the mechanical.

all the info on the electronic department will be great adition to my empty and cluless brain.

I have personally seen these products all up close and personal. If you are looking for a CNC electronics setup, you just can't beat Tom and company at Candcnc.com
They have excellent products, excellent service, great prices, and best of all, they actually use the stuff they sell! Tom is a real go-to guy, and he goes above and beyond the call every time.
He has a Yahoo group you should peruse if you would like to see what's up with the stuff he sells.

I have read about these complete kits in a few posts here, but if I go to the website all I can find is "coming soon". am I looking in the wrong place?

[massajamesb]

I believe so.... I am pretty sure Tom has these up for sale already, though I don't know for dead certain. I would shoot him an email to be certain. After all, he knows his product better than I.

Ok lets get something clear, lets say i buy the MP1000, and the motor controll I'll only have to buy the steppers???

Tom even sells the steppers now. I would just call him.
