I'v thought about this as rotary axis can be made very stiff. Just think
about it as polar to cartesian transformation. If you get is going I
would be most interesting in coming down to see it. 

Many times I've thought about modeling it on my cinci but never got
around to doing it. I think such a scheme is referred to as a rho-theta
machine. 

Let me know how you come out.
