http://www.nollet.com.au/ not sure of his stepper prices, but I have purchased stamp controllers from him in the past.
I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get steppers and controllers in Australia
I emails a few Companies that I found though a Goggle search and only one replied with a price of $20,000

I used drivers from these guys, I ended upgrading them but to be fair I should have used the bipolar drives for my machine and upgraded the FETs for my system. For a smaller setup I think they would be fine. They also have some cool stuff on their webpage...

I found them good to deal with which is always nice.
Good Luck !
