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.
I agree, I am using one of the very first models Probotix ever designed. I am not a programmer and had no previous experience with cnc, just a curious person. It was easy to set up and was plotting and cutting my first designs within hours. The Probotix website has many useful free tools and easy to use software even for a newbie.
