Interesting. Shows how little I know about this. I would definitely be interested in adding an I/O link drive. Hell, I'd even enjoy building my own rotary using a fanuc servo and off the shelf gearbox if that wasn't too crazy of an adventure. I've seen a few guys do that on YouTube with decent results. I think I'd just have to calibrate it to match the positioning after the gear reduction.
Yeah that seems like an adventure.
But could be done cheaper than a rotary, tailstock, and base plate from a known supplier.
If you do that you should build some type of pneumatic table lock as well.
