Ready for the Milling Machine


Got the Xylotek kit yesterday. The Sherline motor mount kit and leadscrew came in last week. I have not had the time to drill and tap the ways and mount the kit. Maybee this weekend.

I opted to go with the xylotek kit that includes the installed and tested 4 axis driver board. The first one did take quite a bit of time and that is one thing I am in short supply on right now. It looks pretty decent from first glance. I have not opened it up yet to see what is inside. It comes prewired with 6'cables for the stepper motors and uses 6 connector molex plugs. All for a extra $75 on sale. After doing the first one, I think it is a pretty good deal.
