    Steve,

    Very nice job on the new indexer.

    A bit of confusion though. In your video at about the 1:45 mark (boring the bearing seats), it talks about using ABEC 7 bearings while at around 4:45 (D1 runout check) it says ABEC 3 bearings are used... You might want to make that a bit clearer.

    I have been watching all the videos on this amazing 4th axis.I wonder what would be the smallest mill that you could put it on?

    I'd like to get some feedback on the pre-Mega versions of Steve's 4th axis - has anyone here used one?

    Thanks, Mike

    I have one of the early Steve's prototypes. Running great so far.
