Re: 5-axis Taig Mill

Thanks everyone for the info on the air spindles, I'll try to contact
Quantum CNC tommorow, looks like the MaxNC air-spindle is for
engraving and may not have enough torque for cutting away wood.

Andrew, I've put some photos in the Yahoo Taigtools files folder
rather than taking up space in this group's folder, look under "Rab's
Stuff"
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taigtools/files/Rab%27s%20Stuff/

My approach is probably overkill, but I wanted to see if the
principle worked and I could generate the G-Code, I do need something
lighter than the Sherline Rotary table. What do you have in mind to
control the movement of the 5th axis around the pivot point ?

Regards,
Rab
