This is one option for a 3 or 4 axis set of drivers.? Reasonably inexpensive.? I even bought two more than 10 years ago and haven¡¯t used them yet.

I also have several of these picked up for much the same reason for a project that never happened but these would work for a DB200.

or here you get the break out board and the stepper drivers.

For the lathe that would give you a spare driver if one failed.? Then connect to the MESA 7i92 and either run LinuxCNC from your laptop using the Ethernet connection to the MESA board or use a Pi4 with an old keyboard and mouse.

Thanks John for the replies and the comprehensive information. Nice YouTube video too. I¡¯m in the UK BTW.

It may be far more complex than I first thought! Some serious research will be required I think.

Any suggestions for an adequate (but not overly complex) primer on the internet?

The Raspberry Pi is a great idea, good and compact.
