regarding the Grizzly $895 190 lb 10" 2 axis rotary table on page 61 of their
Summer 2000 flier, I contacted Bill Crofutt <billcrofutt@...>
of their Bellingham store, and he says the backlash can be adjusted
out of it (possibly creating harder turning for some of the rotation).

So I'm thinking that will make a nice unit for cnc conversion.
