I apologize in advance for the length of this video! I know long videos can be boring, but there’s a lot of info to go through, and it’s almost impossible to make it a short presentation.

In this video, we get into setting up the rotary axis kit I purchased for my Gatton CNC. I’ll show you how I cloned a profile in Mach3, get into the settings, and show you what’s needed to calculate the “Steps Per.” Then we’ll plug it into the Xylotex drive box and take it for a spin – literally.

Here’s the link to my website article, which include screen shots of the Mach3 settings.
