Looking for a 3-axis stepper controller

[kodex]

Hello all.

I have began getting parts and circuitry together for my first desktop router build. I plan on using 3 of this motor here along with a Fireball V90 from Probotix. I had initially intended on following these instructions (Schematic here) to make three boards to drive the motors. I would be powering it all with this 24v/50w/2.1a PSU.

However, taking in considerations from elsewhere online, I have come to believe that the performance delivered by those driver boards will be less than optimal.

Basically I am looking for a parallel port 3-axis controller which will give me acceptable performance. Acceptable to me is being able to cut through most wood with no problem. Aluminum would be nice, but I understand the motors may not be up to that task. I don't need any fancy features beyond over-current protection, and I'd like it to cost $30-$50 if this is at all possible.

Any help would be appreciated, please let me know if I'm asking the impossible as far as price goes.

Thank you!

I'd start by looking for another motor. If the spec sheet is right the 60mh motor will mean the 24 volt supply you mentioned will be way too small.

Ugh, and if I already bought the motors?

I'm running two Xylotex boards with complete satisfaction. wood router(20x24) and my own design mill.
