On my desk I have an Acorn Powered on and connected to my PC.
Its pretty much setup like a bench test all the time.
I can load other Acorn reports so I can see exactly how there Acorn is set up.
I can get a license for my Acorn like Plasma pro, and when I launch InterCon from CNC12 then Intercon would see the license.
The right way would be to purchase the offline Intercon key from Centroid if I Wanted to use Intercon on a PC that not connected to a licensed Acorn.
My original Table came with Leadshine steppers. They were direct rack and pinion with a terribly low overall turns ratio.
Lead shine stepper are pretty nice so I kept the motors and drives and just added 5:1 gearboxes to get better resolution.
You can view my motors and gearboxes here
I think Clearpath servo's such as the SDSK models are the best.

But Closed loop leadshine's are not as expensive and they have pretty good performance and reliability.
