Re: How many inch/oz for a rotary axis?

Hello,

Good advice, Tony. To the original poster: Be sure to include
whatever "off center" weight your workpieces may add to this,
possibly by bolting such workpieces to the table before conducting
the test.

Also test the rotary in the position(s) (horiz., vert.) that you
intend to use it.

And then don't forget to increase your result to include cutting
loads (or do a further test, while cutting)

Hope this helps.
