My 4 axis kit arrived today from Probotix. Here are some pics, I really have nothing to compare, but the motors seem larger than I expected. This is their 4 Axis monster kit, pre wired, 40 volt upgrade, and has 400oz motors.

The cables are 20' and also came with the kit. I priced the tubing for the table, and needless to say it has went up since I priced tubing last summer! The metal for the table will cost a little shy of $500.00. It's going to be a couple of weeks before I can purchase the tubing, gear rack, and bearings so I can start building the table.

I'm still think I will into my table for $2000.00 plus or minus $100.00. I think I'm going with a touch and go set up instead of torch height control. If I go that route I will have $2,500.00 in my table. I'm decided to build a 4x8 because it only adds cost to the table and gear rack which is around $350.00 more than I could build a 4x4.

I still have a long way to go!
