Not really relevant ... The trick is to simply plug the rotary table into 'Y' ( although I use 'X' it's easier ) and set the steps per to give me the right distance for 360 degrees of rotation. Only problem is having a big enough swing on the rotary table given the shallow angle you are trying to work on. It's a lot easier on the side of a cylinder :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
