Looks like a good choice Bob :thumbsup: I hope you are pleased with it and I look forward to your report on it's performance. Tweakie.
I know exactly what you mean - it is really all a compromise. :) I often V-Carve hardwoods and getting the feed-rate high enough (to avoid the...
Regarding the burn marks - as you have discovered, you either need to reduce the spindle speed or increase the feed-rate. Tweakie.

Hi Scott, Each stepper motor should have it's own driver (generally software slaved Y & A when two motors are used on a Y axis). Tweakie.
Nice work Robert ( don't forget to use screened / shielded cable for connecting the switches ;) ) Tweakie.
If it's any help I can see that the BOM is in the files section but as it is a compressed Excel document (.xlsx) I can't actually open it (maybe...
