I was wondering if anyone knows when the Rotary axis will be available?

I can tell you now how to build a rotary axis. you need a stepper motor with a planetary gearbox ratio of 7:1 fitted with a driving mechanism. From there you use that as a drive for a turning center, with a tail-stock at the rear end. In your mach 3 you set your A Axis as slave to the x axis. I would also suggest you set your router or spindle to a rate of not more than 250 ipm, at the outer rim of the cutter. If you are interested, I can give you more information.fasteddie wrote:I was wondering if anyone knows when the Rotary axis will be available?
