As some of you may know, I have been working on a high depression bench for development work. I have been working with Audie Thomas (THANKS AUDIE!) for electronics, he has now released a motor controller that works fantastic for the price! I am currently playing with his 30 amp piece, and hoping for 100 amp piece (so I can run all the motors) in spring. Thought you guys would be interested instead of using multiple router controllers.

If he has the 30 amp pieces you can still run your bench at close to 100 amp capability.
You do this by using 40 amps worth of motors (uncontrolled) and using two control boxes for the other 60 amps.
0 to 30 amps worth of flow (use the first control box).
30 to 60 amps worth of flow (use both control boxes)
60 to 100 amps worth of flow turn on the first 30 amp controller, then add the 40 amps of uncontrolled, and finally the last 30 amps controller. You will have 40 uncontrolled and 60 controlled which will easily give you LOTS of control for the bench without waiting for the 100 amp unit.
A second benefit is if one of the controllers gives you problems you can get a 30 amp production piece quickly and still be testing with 70 amps of flow in the meantime.
