Too me this is nuts, just use linucnc to index, no need for add on code and hardware, goes both ways, coordinated moves (hobbing, helical cuts and radii), indexing is trivial in an Ocode routine. When I first set up my machine it was for cutting gears, using linuxcnc got rid of all the errors of the manual methods we were using in the clockworks. I started with only 2 axes under cnc the rest manual (rotary and cutter pass)
