Ha, I am doing that math in my head, ballscrew upgrade costs, Pro comes with slotted table already, I might just make the jump for this reason. Considering that now.
Ha, yea, that last part is why I am still leaning this way. I am balancing saving a few bucks and having the support of both Gecko and the individual selling the kit. Plug and play has value to me, just not as much as CNCRPS kits (yikes!!).
I did notice Gecko is a bit older. Maybe I am bad a looking, but any solid all in one kits out there I am missing with newer/better parts? CNCRPs is $1,600 and the gecko kit I found is half that, so thought a solid option. I am open to any recommendations, and I would be comfortable wiring my own. I just like something that is complete, has good support, and if wired right is on the low end of difficult to work right. There is so much to learn, trying to short cut what I can by buying right.
Ha, I am a few hours smarter on research and that question looks silly to me now. I was worried that the Gecko was not compatible with some software that would limit my options like mach3 or mach4.
I am leaning towards using mach4 combined with UC300ETH-5LPT or UC400ETH.
Thanks so much for more replies!!! Nice afternoon boost
