Hi All,

I'm getting closer on my mill/drill retro fit. I have 450 oz in stepper
motors rated at 3.5 Amps. I am thinking about getting the Camtronics 5 Amp
per phase bipolar drivers: http://www.seanet.com/~dmauch/

I emailed Camtronics and asked about power supply parts. They will sell me
the parts for $115 US + shipping and then I will need wire, connectors,
power cord, chassis.... I think the parts are resonably priced but a
rec.crafts.metalworking contributor, Larry Eddington, suggested I use a 12 V
battery charger. So today I went charger shopping and found a new 12A, 12V
charger without automatic off switching for $40 US. And it is already built
with a chassis and power cord!

So my question is do you think one of these battery chargers do the trick
for me? Are battery chargers well regulated supplies?

Thanks,
Peter
