    Good 3-Axis driver board ?

    Could someone please recommend a good SOLID CNC Driver board.
    I’m using Xylotex 425 oz/in motors.

    I purchased the Xylotex 3-Axis driver board. but would like to look at
    other solutions.

    I need a cost effective 3-axis board that will drive 425 oz/in motors that is
    solid enough to use. I paid $150.00 for the Xylotex driver board. I like it's
    basic design, but it seems to tightly integrated for my needs.


    Thanks for the help,
    -Mark

    I called them, this might work. It looks to be more modular
    than the Xylotex. It also looks like it is cheaper to repair because of
    the modular axis design. I like the breakout board, it seems like it also
    may be safer because it is more isolated.


    Let us know what you think about there product.

    Thanks,

    I'm using the HobbyCNC board and haven't had any problems with it. If your motors are 3Amps or less it'll work with them. If you dont want to solder it yourself HCNC will put u in contact with Mike Beck who'll do it for you for a small fee.

    Thanks !, However, my motors are 6.0amps.

    Ok, Xylotex just contacted me. They said the board was still under warrenty so I will not haft to pay anything.

    They gave me information on how to return the board for warrenty repair.

    That's good, there doing the right thing.

    I'm still going to look at the Keling drivers, they really look to be built
    solid, and modular.
