I agree with Andy about the torsional stiffness. I don't believe there is any way to overcome that limitation. I don't think suspending the second end will add enough stiffness to allow controlling the lead in any meaningful way. I do think suspending the second end would have benefits. Torsionally float the second end and measure the torsional rotation. Use the measurement to control the rotation of the pulling end. This would allow the truest cutter lead rotation and cutter orientation through the barrel. > > -- > atp > If you can't fix it, you don't own it. > http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto > thanks Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
