    Unhappy 4th axis for kt1414

    I have a kt1414 and I would like to get a rotary axis and I was looking at 8730 - CNC Rotary Table with Stepper Motor

    I would like to know if its a good purchase and if I can operate it on another port with a separate controller that I would like to make of course with somes help.(what would I need?)

    All the help I can get will be appreciated
    thank you

    Once you figure out the interface, surely, an alternate method for "driving" the Sherline stepper could be achieved. Simple step/direction should not be that hard to do - it is done over and over with many aftermarket steppers.
