Certainly the author should include the design specification, which would include the "not required to rotate whilst cutting" in the case of the 4th Axis in question. For me part of the enjoyment is to take an article as a kick off point for my own contrivances, so any inaccuracies or errors are irrelevant. cheers Bill Pudney I agree with you Bill, however on the last statement would you, probably as a beginner , have realised without a discussion that there were some issues with a given design ? I was in the same boat exactly some years ago hence my letter. I built a head, far bigger and heavier than the one in the article and finished up scrapping it . Should I have known better? I should but I didn't and it cost me a fair bit of time and money as I had two timing wheels made up to suit. John S.

Obviously got missed after I handed it over to other staff. Will sort it out in issue 182. Issue 181 is virtually finished so too late to add it in there. regards David Edited By David Clark 1 on 06/08/2011 09:57:29
