what do you guys think of this setup.
CNC Systems
Been looking at 3 axis code sys43MCFK W68, is it worth the price and would it be suitable.

Is there a cheaper system available, but remember i'm in the UK. I would rather pay leass when i see some of the prices in the USA

Dean good name that.

I haven't got experience with this kit but I have used several of there other products and they are spot on, Roy is a very helpfull bloke.

I suspect thou this kit is designed to run serial connection not parallel due to the fact the driver is only 2.5A and the motor is 3nm. To run parallel you would need more like 4A driver for a 3nm motor.

What size machine do you intend building or have you built.? Motors connected serial will run out of torque sooner than parallel connected motors but will run cooler, Most people tend to run parallel due to the higher torque.

If you haven't built or designed the machine yet i wouldn't go rushing into buying motors and drivers untill you know more about the weight and forces you will have to move and the speeds you would idealy like from the machine.
The way you build the machine and the components used will all play a part in choosing the right motor/driver package also sizing the power supply is very important for best motor/speed performance.

hope this helps

Dean.

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the reply, i haven't built my machine yet nor do i have any experience of these. I was thinking of building one of these to get started

Any help with the electronic side of things would be great.
