Hi

I have been thinking about making a cnc mill for a long time.
But, thinking doesnt get me anywhere. So, i have to start.

This is my plan:

This week i will order:
Breakout board from PMDX (PMDX-122)
Power module from PMDX (PMDX-135-8020)
Stepperdrivers for Gecko (203V) 3pcs
Steppermotors from stepper3 (HT34-476) 855oz 3,92V 3,15A
Trafo from elfa (500VA) 2x28V (20A in 28V) (10A in 56V)

Before i order it, i would like some comments/opinions, since its the first time im building a cnc.

My further plan is to build a simple design wood router to sett it all into function. If im satisfied, i will laiter buy a steel mill and convert it. (when my budget allows for it).

little change in plans...

Yesteday i bougth a mill, Optimum BF20 vario.
I didnt have that in the budget, but i guess i can live with it.

I havent ordered anything in the previous post yet, because i didnt get any answer from gecko. Maybe i have to send a new mail.

PMDX has given me the offer and shippingcost, so i can order it, but i will wait til everything is ready from gecko also.

I have all my components, and the machine is up and running.
But i will change the motors to something bigger.
At the moment i have some old motors that i borrowed from a friend.
