Any advice/tips/hints/links etc re converting a rotary table to provide an additional axis (A or C). My main concern is eliminating backlash - as far as possible. That probably rules out all the cheap stuff! I'll be using a 6" to 8" diameter table, powered by servo. I guess replacing the handle with a motor is the obvious route but are there alternative methods worth considering?    |

| Backlash is only a problem if you intend to reverse direction. MOST tables have BL adjustment of some kind. CR. |

| Yep, I need to rotate the table in both directions so any slop in the mechanism would be a problem. |
