Probotix is Epic Awesome Good and Great

So.... What hardware is the Angry Beaver running?
Answer. Probotix.

  Why is Probotix  Epic, Awesome, Good and Great?
 
  Their website is first off well organised and easy to navigate. They provide clear and insightfull images of each product they carry. If they don't have a product then they provide links to websites that do have the product.
  Orders are processed quickly and as advertised and come packed nicely in fitted foam carriages. The os and software to run these motors is downloaded for free from the internet and works on almost any computer made from years 2000-2004/5.

The software to run this hardware is very user friendly. It allows for the user to easily set up their hardware.
For those who run windows there is also support for Mach3 as well.

If you don't want to build your own Machine they also sell complete partially assembled machines.

The wiring diagram provided on their site is very clear and well laid out if you have a good electrical mind wiring the motor,s drivers and break out board is as simple as a nights worth of work. The Steppers and Drivers are top notch. The Angry Beaver pushes 280 oz/in of torque on each stepper at 40 volts.

Customer support is free. They will buy the kit back from you if they can't help you to make it work.

American owned and operated out of Peoria, IL. no dis-respect to other nations but i love  my country and we need jobs.

All in all Probotix runs a Legit operation. I recommend them to anyone getting into CNC machining.

Diy cnc router. all 3 axis moving with explanation

So I did little bit of tuning on my motors and lead screws. and I got it to turn. My cnc is now operational!!! All it took was a bit of oil and some shim jims! Really though it turns out these machines need alot of tuning. I'm anxious to see how it does on its first cut. I may need the help of master Roshi(dad) to accomplish this.

drivers steppers and the mobile gantry

 After to straight all nighters I have my gantry system assembled my motors wired to my drivers and spinning. its been a very productive week. Go Probotix!

XY Drive

So I purchased the xd-14 xydrive a few months ago. It did not work at all and website no longer works I advise anyone looking to get into cnc to avoid the xydrive.
