Re: Adding a 4th axis to my router

Thanks guys, The project I am considering is indeed very simple, basically a long taper on both ends of a long dowel. I just need to make hundreds of them. What do I need to buy for the 4 axis mechanism? Is it difficult to install? I am assuming a head stock and tail stock, a motor and motor control...

Adding a 4th axis to my router

Hi, I"m researching adding a rotary axis to my Acorn CNC router. I have used a Rotary a ew years ago on a Legacy Maverick using conversational cam for the programing. Is it a similar process in the Acorn universe? Can anyone give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
