Thanks alan I think the guys I am getting my motors from currently are cheaper

Well then don't keep it a secret...

Go on the net. It is buildyourcnc you can buy a hole kit for 667 dollors 3axise

Don't forget what Mr Taxman is going to hit you with once they land here plus the shipping of course and if there is a problem you have to deal with someone very far away - just saying look at all the hidden costs as well :-)

I have orderd from them before and it is not that bad still a lot cheaper than most of the other guys. I must just find a cheap suplier for linear shaft and bearings, I want to go away from the wheels on the machine. Hey can you help with the setup of the A axis motor on the X axis I can get it to turn. I need a step by step instruction on how to do this on mach3.

Paulus gaan lees jou mach manual!

Try Hobytronics for stepper motors and drivers,breakout board and power supplies. I paid R850.00 for nema 34 stepper from them. Service exelent as well.

Try these guys for laser parts.http://www.cnc-sa.co.za/

Go on youtube and search Mach tutorials also go here http://www.youtube.com/user/anajonesr?feature=watch for excellent videos on setting up the electronics of your cnc. I personally learn better by seeing so it helped my build my second control box. Here is another site for cnc accesories http://www.cnc-step.co.za/ also pm me if you need more info.

Thanks johan.
I had a look and it looks good

I found my problem I had the motor conected wrong on the bob al is running now. The control panel was quite easy to do.
Thanks for your help.
How long have you had your machine now.

It running now for about 10 months. It has done some hard graft I have cut about 220.00 full sheets of MDF on her to date will stretch that with 20 more boards this coming week.

Ok that's good.
What do you cut that use so many boards.
I do I post a pic on the forum? And is there a place on the forum that you can view all the pics that every one has posted.

I Make Poker tables and have a site http://www.poker-tables.co.za. Look in the massage box there is link for that.

Sorry my typing is kak.
