You should see the 4 axis kit on the website under Taig. Mach3 should have no problems it will do up to 6 axis cordinated moves. Use CNC tool kit for up to 6 axis of cam for the g-code.
Paul Campbell, Yes you can do 5 axis machining without the steppers hitting the spindle. You can rotate the 5th axis around on the mounting plate. I do have an extension for the Z to offset it so you can use the Y travel better and see what you are cutting. Z envelope is 6.75" from the spindle to the center of the rotary. Minus your tool that you are using and that is your Z cutting area. I will put up another video when I can. For those asking about why Steppers. I had them in stock and they are cheap. You can use Servo's if you want.
That’s nice I like how it’s separable. Obviously not harmonic drives there are you running a worm or cam? Now I’ve looked at your web page that looks like the little machine shop rotary. Unbeliever they have one with a stepper ready and hand held for single axis control? Perhaps confused but similar anyways.
$175 for a limited time with free shipping at HighTechSystemsLLC com You will also need the Modular Work Holding Plate if you don't already have one and the Sherline Rotary Tables. Thanks
@HighTechSystems there is at least a dozen items here in this video.. What part exactly are you selling for 175 for a limited time. More importantly is this entire thing for sale. Cause it looks like you are selling a single piece of aluminum with holes drilled in it?
Why not mounting the drive for the rotating table onto the 4th axis tablet and make through put for power so the 4th axis can rotati fully 180 degres from (-90 to 90) ??
I was under the impression that the work piece should be kept in the center of the 4th axis rotation. This seems like its above the pivot point. Does is just depend on the machine?
a perfectly centered work piece were the work piece center of mass lies somewheres on the 4th axis would then have no net torque on the 4th axis. otherwise there would be and hence a tendency to rotate towards it's lowest gravitational potential energy state.

Hi. It would be great to see this kit milling Aluminum.
Could you please provide a video of it's real work?
Nice!
This is so cool!
Doesn't have the range of motion it should. The motor for the C axis is limiting the A axis. Good try but the motor needs relocation
Abigail Junky can you read the comments before posting your ignorance?

Why use steppers?
Way Cool!!!! How much to buy one???

@Moronicsmurf do you mean laying the stepper across the x axis?
das tut ja richtig in den ohren weh
