Increasing the circumference won't help. But, you should be able to "scale"
the 4th axis (rotary table) to get the full 360 degrees from your rotary
table., For example, if you're only getting 358 degrees in your circle,
increase the scale factor of the 4th axis by 1.0055866xxx. Hope you have
the capabilities to "scale" (it should be somewhere in your setup files),
otherwise, I don't know how you'd handle the problem.
