Re: photo section broken? (works now, more on rotary axis)

The photo section seems to be working now. You did an AMAZING job
with that rotary 4th axis conversion! I have lots of questions, but
if you could just answer three it would help quite a bit:

1) Where did you get the 3 jaw chuck that seems to mount so nicely
(or did you modify it?)

2) Why did you go with a further reduction gear on the handwheel
shaft? Is there quite a bit of friction? I noticed you mounted the
servo encoder on the handwheel shaft - great idea since belt stretch
would then be irrelevant.

3) If that is a 10 inch table, is it impossible to lift without a
crane?

Thanks for the pics!
