    4th axis question

    Hello

    can someone please help me ?

    I am buying this 4th axis for my cnc machine CNC F Style A-Axis 4th-Axis Router Rotational Rotary Axis 3-Jaw 80mm+Tailstock | eBay and wanted to know can I also use it on my laser machine which has leeto controller that supports 4 th axis ?

    I honestly don't see why it shouldn't work given that the motors are almost identical but seller says it's not possible that it's for cnc machine. Maybe she's right but I would like to be certain

    Can someone please clarify this ?

    Thank you in advance

    Provided your stepper driver can run the motor from their description:

    NEMA23 stepper motor, 1.8degree, 2.2N.M 3.5A

    Can't see why not.

    What stepper driver have you got?

    Where can I see that ?

    I asked seller, still waiting for reply

    I know it has 3 phase stepper, is that it ?

    You already have a machine yes?

    What stepper driver is fitted to the machine that you want to use to operate the rotary?

    You need to look at your machine.
