"vNext" of TouchDRO will have this functionality.<br /><br />This particular table now has a 2,000 count encoder with 4.5:1 pulley ratio mounted on it. Not quite 30,000 but 9000 counts per rev is plenty good enough for gear cutting.Yuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-68116573736488741262016-08-10T08:21:29.621-07:002016-08-10T08:21:29.621-07:00Hi Yuriy,

One could easily be added to the table axis. This would be so much easier than using dividing plates to index.Charlienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-85808549317871360582013-02-24T21:10:23.289-08:002013-02-24T21:10:23.289-08:00Just wanted to say thanks for posting this and you...Just wanted to say thanks for posting this and your review. I found this same table on ebay and will be more likely to pull the trigger and get it now. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732435402947764507noreply@blogger.com
