I am new comer to this CNC area.
I would like to biuld a CNC Hot wire foam cutter.

I have a numbe rof plans m just trying to understand what electronics I need.

I looked at the new 4-axis stepper controller Coldfusion x

besides the stepper controller what els edo I need.

- 4 axis stepper controller board
- 24v/36v power supply
- 4 nema 24 stepper motors
- printer cable

do I need a break-out board, this is where I am get confused.
Are there two set up?

thanks

A break-out board is an interface board for a stepping motor driver to communicate with a PC through the parallel board. All stand alone stepper driver is single channel. Our 2axis, 3axis, 4axis stepping motor controller indeed is a mixed of stepper driver and the break-out board. It's ready to be used with a PC.

Thanks for clearifying that for me.

currently I have

New version 2 axis CNC/laser machine Stepper Motor Controller
DC 24V /15A Switching Power Support

now I seems I only need:

print cable
Nema 23 Stepper Motors
looking at 118 uni-polor or 132 bi-polar torque
( KH56KM2R009)

I am assuming that thses Stepper Motors will work and that, that is all I need after purchasing the controller and power supply.

thanks again for all your help
