There are many to choose from but I use a Warp9 ESS and that works well for me. https://warp9td.com/

I'm looking around for motors, but am only finding cheap chinese motors, or motors that are waay too powerful and expensive.
Do you know any websites to look for Digital Servo Motors ?

Hi,
DMM have a good reputation:

Delta is made in Taiwan and is good. Note there are a range of models, choose with care...they are all good quality:

TJoensen:
Thanks for the links, Craig.

I've come up with one setup, can you guys tell me what you think of this?
Also, I'd gladly take some tips if you think there are cheaper/better options.

Hi,
they all work but they are expensive.

The Hicon is $600. You have not established the case that requires such a board. The UC300, the ESS or the 57CNC are all capable
and way cheaper, $150-$200. You will need BoBs for the UC300 and ESS, C10 BoBs are $23 each, you might get away with one but
are unlikely to require more than two.

The servo you linked to is only 100W. Why go so small? For the same money you could get 400W-750W DMM's.

There is nothing wrong with Schiender....its just expensive for what you get.

Consider:
Mach4                                          $200
ESS                                              $190
2 x C10 BoBs                                 $46
3 x DYN4 220V DMM drives             $654       ($218 each)
3 x 400W DST 200V DMM servos     $441      ($147 each)

Total                                             $1531

Compared to:
Mach4                                           $200
Hicon                                            $695
3 x LXM28                                     $928     (250 GBP each converted to USD at 1.31 without VAT)
3 x BCH2MB0133                           $880     (224 GBP each converted to USD at 1.31 without VAT)

Total                                            $2703

There are considerations like how much you have to import, DMM for instance is Canadian, ESS is US. How VAT works I'm not sure,
in New Zealand we Have GST which I believe is similar and the bottom line is that I have to pay the GST on any import. It does not
affect a comparison though....its just a flat rate.

The DMM/ESS/C10 is over $1000 cheaper.....that buys a fair swag of oxy-acet and/or material.
