Yup - I've got one. Very happy with it so far.
Fitted DRO's on X and Y Axis. Mine came with a DRO fitted on the spindle.
If you ever figure out a way to grease the gears let me know - It may be to do with a round plastic window on the right side of the mill head. I can't think what else its there for. You can grease the motor gear by just taking the top off, but after that it may be a head off job. I needed a new motor on mine about 7 months after purchase. Tripped out the house mains when turned on. Their policy is if its up to 6 months they will visit and fix on site but I was just out of on site warranty, so they just supply the parts and you fit them. Motor gets quite hot when running at high speed, so I leave the top metal cover off if I have a lot of that to do.
Re stepper driver - just my opinion. Use a 19-24V scrap laptop supply. Buy a stepper driver - its less painful. I have made several but for speed and ease of use, ebay. The stepper driver will need two signals. One for direction and one for step. Lots of simple control circuits on the internet. PM me if you get stuck or use the CNC forum on HMEM. Use a 5v regulator from the 24v for the stepper driver signal generator supply.
@ Bluechip
Not sure how to put this tactfully - so please don't be offended. The circuit you posted has no current limit for the motor windings so that the limit is set by the output devices, the winding resistance and the power supply current. Integrated drivers limit the winding current by turning on and off at a high frequency, using the reactance of the motor inductance to maintain a constant current in the windings.
This also allows the motor to run at much higher speeds. It may be that the circuit is for a special type of stepper motor, but its not for the normal types used. Typical stepper motor winding resistances vary from 0.5 to 3 ohms with maximum currents of 2-4 Amps or so. With a 12V supply and no current limit you are likely exceeding the motor current limit (driving with DC, current = voltage/resistance).
Apologies for any offence caused.
Best Regards
