New member here. I have built an Arduino based controller for a rotary table, an am now exploring the possibility of building a CNC router/engraver. A friend on here built a system from surplus medical equipment.
I found a listing for 4 axis controller, including steppers on e-bay, and would like an honest opinion of it. I know next to nothing about CNC, but am a retired computer tech and hobby machinist, so I think I can figure it out.
Would those familiar with the hardware look at this listing and advise if it is a good deal?

Also, anyone know of a 3 or 4 axis mechanical setup that I could apply this kit to? I have a very limited budget, so re-building cheap surplus equipment is the idea.
I would even consider a previously loved setup if you have upgraded. Thanks in advance for any help.
