Mario,

al your questions are answered within the forums :

- For a BoB people usually use one of the available PMDX boards, PMDX122, PMDX125 or G540 (from gecko)
- Stepper voltage calculations can be found here : http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56
- Stepper motor decisions : http://www.mechmate.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1114&highlight=voltage+stepper+motor


I am still building so no experience with alu cuts, but I know people do that here aswell.

and, welcome to the forum!!
