Have the B axis hacked together. This is more of an indexer as it has a 72 tooth curvic coupling that the table sit on which gives us 5 degree indexes. http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/curvicfoot.jpg http://electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/curvictogether.jpg (taken out

Not to beat a dead horse too much, but at that price and power level, there's no reason to use an ARM board instead of an Atom board. The D510MO is fine (certain parallel port strangeness notwithstanding), as is the D945GCLF2, and a host of other brands. These boards are $90 or so with CPU,
