    I'm new to this and I would like to know how to connect CNC electronic components

    What do I need to build a powerful 3 axis CNC machine?
    What type of motors, controllers, drives etc do I need and how do I connect them to work with my computer?
    Thanks

    "powerful" is in the eyes of the beholder... It really depends on what you want to do with the machine and how big the machine needs to be. You can build the biggest, most powerful machine ever, but if all you want to do is route wood and plastic then you have wasted your money. A bit more info is needed - size, materials to work with and your budget would be a good start.

    Thanks for showing interest

    well...I suppose it would be a machine that would have to cut aluminum.
    But I'm mostly interested in how I can connect some AC, mono phase servomotors to be controlled by computer, what components are needed to realize that. I'm interested in how it's made
    Have a nice day

    You need a power supply, servos, drives, wires to connect them together, a breakout board and cable to connect to your computer.

    breakout board?

    what do you mean by breakout board?
    And for high power motors (1 kW) do I need a special power source? Or can I use the local power supply?
