    Cool Finally made 4th axis work on Bridgeport Interact 2 with EMC

    I shot a little video of it with my cell phone.

    The 4th axis is a Troyke 12 inch rotary table (very early model) with a servo motor and a RESOLVER for feedback.

    Runs on my Series II Bridgeport Interact 2 mill that I retrofitted with EMC2.

    Here's the vid:
