Hi
Thanks for the responses.
Ok here's some more info. It's a Yuasa 6" table. 90 turns = 360 deg
table rotation. I'm using Mach2 as my control program and I plan on
getting Visual mill as the Gcode program. I router wood, plastic,
solidsurface as well as aluminum. I also have a BP clone that I plan
to use it on in the future. I have a couple of extra servo motors
and an extra Gecko 340 that I plan to use to drive it. I'd like to
use the smaller of the two motors to drive the table if I can.
I'm trying to avoid setting this up and the wishing I had done
something different in motor/pully ratio choices.
I realize if I'm just using it for indexing the speed and power is
not as critical. I'm hoping to use it for 3d rotational work as well.
Like carving a spiral in a post.

Thanks again
Derek
