    ...and I have been happily using UCCNC since the mid 2016, initially on W7 and on W10 as soon as it became available also on three machines, both through wired and wireless Ethernet.

    BTW, fob watches are quite fashionable and trendy but yes, I understand what you mean.

    It's a roughly 3 ft x axis, 4.5 ft y axis and 8 inch z axis.

    There are individual motors driving the x and z axis on each side for the hotwire cutter function in which case the y axis is removed and a hotwire is stretched between the 2 z axis.

    When being used as a cnc router both z axis move together.

    See attached image.

    In any case although I only have 4 axis there are 5 motors so I think getting a 5 axis controller is the way to go.

    I don't know much about the electronic side of things.

    Building the mechanical part is within my skill set but need help with the rest.

    So could i get some recommendations for the controller board (I have Nema 23 motors already).

    I'm guessing I will also need drivers for the motors? And a power supply of some type?
