I am looking to build a small inexpensive 3-axis CNC machine.
Thinking of using a dremmel tool as the cutter.
I would like to be able to have an effective cutting radius of about 12"x12".
I would like to be able to cut thin plastic and thin sheet metal.
What type stepper motors and controller should I be looking for?
Also why use a stepper motor controller rather than a microcontroller?
