Planet-CNC as already mentioned, and a couple others I can think off just now, but I've just had a complete mind blank over there names! One is UK based, and one US.
#LINUXCNC SERVO WITH STEPPER 4TH OFFICE SOFTWARE#
Mach and LinuxCNC are the main two software packages with good support, but there are other options. Also: cable tie the bejesus out of the thing no cable should be able to move of its own free will. Don't put signalling cables (limit switches, etc) right next to power cables. Use cable that can take the current, and get shielded if you can afford it. Just gotta cut slower I guess Just a tip: wiring matters a lot. I've got a rather large CNC router based on roller chain and steppers and you really can't do anything once you lose a step because you don't know until the job is finished. The best thing I have seen with linux is the mesa FPGA cards: and the best with mach3 is the smoothstepper: I have one of those usb things you have linked to, never was able to get it working all that well (but I didn't try very hard tbh because the parallel port turned out to be fine) I am building a new 3 axis machine with servos/encoders/geckodrives and a smoothstepper. If you don't want that, you need to decide if you are going for linux CNC or mach3 as it changes things. As mentioned, parallel port is usually a pretty solid choice as most stuff supports it (and it's super cheap/free). They are a lot more complicated than you think I tinker a lot with diy cncs. Well, my first CNC was supposed to be 'just a tool'.
