complete newbie with q's about hobby cnc order

[Lionclaw]

I've been fairly happy with my hobbycnc board. I originally purchased the 80oz motors, and then upgraded to the 200oz ones. Save yourself the trouble and just start with the 200oz.

Dave,
I think you have an excellent product and I was ready to buy, but assembling the board from scratch... I'll have to pass.

for the price the HobbyCNC kit is very good hands down, It runs my CNC Model 2006 with no problems, and even the heavy version of it, I'm running it at 80ipm which is pleanty fast enough for mdf hdpe and other material i cut.

Go with the upgrade it is the best choice.

Dave gives the absolutely best support after the sale I have ever seen even when it turns out that you are an absolute moron like I was, he still helps with a smile. I can't recommend any one more highly. save yourself the trouble in the future and spend the $30 up front. You might not realize it now, but, you'll be glad you did later.

Thanks Everyone. I would say that you've all convinced me to go with the HobbyCNC setup.

Has anyone used the 4th-axis for a rotary avis? Would the 200oz steppers be strong enough for cutting a helical flute in spindles? What about cutting in oak or plywood?

Joe, At 80 ipm, what size cutter are you using at that feed rate? What is your depth of cut?
