    What do you intend to do with it?

    Some people are successful using those boards, however there are also many tales of woe.

    You may want to read the following thread (it is a long one) for more information:

    Can I suggest you look at individual drivers rather than those all in one boards,simply because I've heard that the chips on those boards if driven to the max limit they tend to pop and render the board with only two axises or even one?

    Not trying to put you off buying em but the net is full of information on those boards.

    For comparison purposes, "winegar" used a similar controller but with higher torque motors (420 oz-in) in this build:

    You might want to compare notes over there.

    Well anyone will help you out,thats what the sites for innit.

    I don't know about plasma tables and thats why I asked how many motors? I'm only going by the link you posted detailing four motors in the package.

    but the link I posted are better than the rubbish in your link. so if three motors will suffice then thats what I'd go for.

    That kit is for general movement of the axises,I think that a switch mec needs applying for the torch.

    Cutting is down to the torch nothing else,so if thhe torch is up to scratch then yeah it will work.

    Read the plasma build link that Doorknob posted further up.
