HobbyCNC Pro Driver Board Kit Reviewed In Make Magazine

Dave Rigotti — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 22:12:08 +0000

Make Magazine reviewed the HobbyCNC Pro Driver Board Kit in their latest issue and had some great things to say about it. From the review: “Then I found HobbyCNC. You can get different levels and kits to fit your needs. They’re easy to assemble for anyone with basic soldering skills, and there’s plenty of support if you run into any issues. Mine went together without any problems, and is currently “making chips.” With a product like this, it’s only a matter of time before everyone has a CNC mill or router in their workshop.” – Brian Graham, Make Magazine
