Rotary Axis for my Gatton CNC – Part 2

I apologize in advance for the length of this video! I know long videos can be boring, but there’s a lot of info to go through, and it’s almost impossible to make it a short presentation.
In this video, we get into setting up the rotary axis kit I purchased for my Gatton CNC. I’ll show you how I cloned a profile in Mach3, get into the settings, and show you what’s needed to calculate the “Steps Per.” Then we’ll plug it into the Xylotex drive box and take it for a spin – literally.
Here’s the link to my website article, which include screen shots of the Mach3 settings.
As usual, if you have any comments or questions about anything I’ve covered in this video, please put ‘em in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching!
