Andy, thanks. While this 4th and 5th axis table is not as big as usual, it still might be too big to fit on my table, but it is close. Weight-wise, it is OK.
So far, I have been G-coding everything by hand, my jobs are simple. I am not a job shop and do not make stuff for a living. I wrote a number of G code subroutines that I use for various purposes.
