5-axis Taig Mill

Hi all,
Been busy working on converting my Taig Mill to 5-axes by using a
Sherline CNC-ready rotary table mounted on the Z-axis slide.
It's quite promising although I think that the Z-axis could do with
being counterbalanced. I'm thinking of maybe using one of those air
powered die-grinders with the spindle at right-angles to the body to
reduce weight and help keep the body of the spindle away from the 4th-
axis chuck and tailstock.
Just been using 4-axes at once as I've only 4 motors and drivers, and
Master5 which I'm using as a control handles only 4-axes currently,
so used the linear Y-axis to control rotation around Y.
Toolpaths generated by some custom scripting done in 3DS MAX.
I've put some photos in the Taigtools files section and I'll update
my webpage when I get some time.
