Hi there,
My first post, sorry if something like this is buried somewhere else. I bought a used VF-3 and am just getting used to it (coming from a Tormach PCNC) but am really excited with what I've done on it so far. Automatic tool changers are cool!

I also purchased a rotary for this machine which you can see here: http://picasaweb.google.com/sparkwill/HAASRotaryTable#. I've had no luck getting it to talk to the mill. My mill is prewired for a fourth axis but connecting the rotary directly to the machine only generates errors. The rotary does work with the separate control box. My questions:

1. What model is this rotary? It doesn't have a serial number on it.
2. What settings do I need in my mill to run it?
3. Do I need to connect it through the control box and then to the machine?
4. Was $3500 too much to pay for this?

Thanks for helping out a total noob!
