4th axis

[Zumba]

Evening Folks,

I'm wondering if anyone here has added a 4th axis to the IH mill with an existing 3 axis CNC installation. I'm looking at the Tormach rotary table but it appears to have a stepper motor, so I question its compatibility.

Thanks for any help.

Why not do your own conversion of a manual rotary table. That's what I'm doing with an 8" Vertex H/V RT, but using a stepper. If you do it yourself you can drive it with whatever suits you and you'll save some cash into the bargain.

Regards
Phil
