Need a recommendation for stepper drivers

[tacogrande]

I'm posting this here and in the keling forum, so please don't shoot me!

Can anyone recommend drivers for the x and y axes of my cnc machine?

It's a 4x8 router table using IDC P33V motors geared at 2000 steps per inch. The motors are 1260 oz-in, 2A/4A for series/parallel. Here is the data sheet:

The power supply is 56V, but I could get something else if necesary.

I'd prefer to use something inexpensive like keling drivers, but I would also consider gecko. I cannot use microstepping drivers since I have an old school flashcut box that doesn't put out a lot of steps.

Thanks!

TG,

You don't need the Flashcut box if you use Mach3 and a inexpensive {$25.00} breakout board.

That's what I should do, but I don't really feel like learning to use a different control program and a different cam program. I'd probably use the EMC2 linux program if I were to change it.

The DXF interpreter in flashcut is pretty pathetic, so I do have some motivation.
