Don't overlook the xylotex offerings for the small stuff. A kit of 4 ea 425oz motors and a 4 axis driver can probably be had for about $460, but check the site at <http://www.xylotex.com/> to be sure. That supply is only 24 volt, which would have a max ipm a bit less than my 28 volt gives. I went slightly cheaper the last time I ordered as I had already cobbled up a 9 or 10 amp 28 volt supply from my junk box. And I also cobbled up the box for the drivers, so all I got was the 4 axis driver board and 4 ea 425 motors. This makes a good kit for smaller machines IMO. I also have a pmdx-106 running the spindle motor, and that works very well. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
