A "4th axis" implies something that the computer can control. Now, SOME may
say that just "ON/OFF" is control enough to qualify as the 4th axis, but I say
it means the computer can control the rotational position, AND/or speed, if
rotating continously, as the X and Y move!
Gets complicated, doesn't it! HTH! Jan Rowland
