Hi, I'm looking at all the parts and software that is needed to start up and am pretty perplexed by what all is needed. I would like to know what I need to get started. This is the list I've started with SX3 type mill. mach3, CAM program, and possibly Lazy Cam, Keling inc. KL-4813 power supply, C10 bidirectional breakout board, Gekodrive G320 Brush DC Drivers, Keling Technology KL23-130-60 DC Servo Motors, E4P OEM Miniature Optical Kit Encoder, CA-MICA4-SH-NC-4-Pin Micro unterminated shielded cable. That's the list so far. I'm looking at building a milling machine with XYZ movement. I've been reading about computers and I've figured out that if my computer will handle the CAD program it can handle the CAM/CNC part of the machining. I guess what I'm looking for is a list of generic termed hardware for a hobby CNC/CAD/CAM set up. I just don't want to think I have it all together and realize I've missed something and also so I can budget for it. Thanks for any help.
