I am working on a 5-axis cnc 3'x3'x3' with a head simular to the Doughty Drive. I am pretty much set on the frame (8020) and drive train (ACME) and am now looking at the electronics.

I am looking in the mid range (ie something between the g540 and the t6545) cost wise. Any suggestions. So far i have been leaning tword something from cnc4pc but want to see what else is out there that i might have over looked.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Cool, thanks, I had not run into that site yet.

Dosn't look like they ship to the US though. sent them a message to see if they would be willing or not.

I do like the break out board thoug.

Just an FYI after some more reading and some help form cnc4pc I plan on going with 2x 3-axis hobbycnc pro boards and the cnc4pc C33 to handle the spindle, limit switches and e-stop
