I know each one has advantages and disadvantages. LinuxCNC - I don't have a Linux machine but I'm including it because somebody would say I need to use it. The spindle will either be a Bosch Colt compact router, that I already have, or a Chinese spindle in about the 1KW range. I'll be cutting mainly wood and plastic with MAYBE some non-ferrous metals thrown in at greatly reduce feed-rates and DOC. I'm not planning on, and don't need to run this at blinding speeds, I figure that rapid travels in the 125"-150" per minute range are more than enough. I'm currently designing around a 48"x24"圆" working volume and planning on using NEMA 23 steppers for the X, Y and Z axis. I'm in the process of designing/building a CNC router and I'm not sure which way to go. The last CNC machine I built ran off TurboCNC so I'm looking to step up to something that's using technology that's at least in this century. What are you guys using for a controller on your CNC's?
