RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] machine setup for rotary table

The math is not particularly hard. The Sherline table is 72 turns per
revolution. Your motor assuming it is a standard 200 step unit connected
to the G201 needs 2000 steps per motor revolution. So you have 2000 x 72
= 144000 steps per 360°. That makes it 400 steps per degree.

Now, that was not all that hard.
