Thinking of picking up one of these Chinese kits to play with.This one is $170 and ships from the US. Almost impossible to get anything out of China this time of year. This next link is to a list of what kits he has in the US warehouse.

Question is, should I spend a little more on one of the other kits because it’s more flexible or what not? Or is this the best/cheapest play toy? Thanks for any advice…

Wait 6 more days and buy from china. it would be better to buy separate stepper driver board than an integrated like you posted it would be easier to replace the chip if dameged by use. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/CNC-Router-Kit-4-Axis-4pcs-TB6560-3-5A-stepper-motor-driver-one-interface-board-4pcs/869952566.html

@Bijil_Baji That looks like a good deal. Have you bought from them before? But after the 6 days, you’ve got the back log they have to catch up with. Bought RC stuff from China, it’s worst than Christmas use to be here shipping wise. Thanks for the link…

@Peter_Fouche1 This is more of a toe in the water kind of thing. Plan is to play with cutting balsa wood. But I see what you’re saying about twist. Thanks

@Mat_Helm Yes i have bought from them. there wont be much of back log probably about 2 days or so. talk with them before you buy. i made substitution instead of the interface board i bought a few coupler from them.
