Stan,

Nice work! But I don't understand what the word "indexer" means, as compared to rotary fixture.... can you please explain?

Thanks! :) Untechie dee

well maybe i have used the wrong terminology but the add on removes the cable from the y axis and this extra stepper drives a rotary axis like a lathe but operates a bit differnt as the work piece sits on top of 4 wheels that the stepper rotates.
I can send a photo of the rotary axis add on ,you place this on the table and its allows you to cut or engrave round objects to about 6in dia

Dee, they are the same thing in this context.
