For fun I doubled up my values to match at least the velocity.  The STMBL 
faulted with a following error by about 12 dgrees of rotation.  I'm only 
running the motor with the DC Servo  105VDC supply rather than the rated 
150VDC. (really must finish that power supply one day).  With the settings that 
don't fault it's repeatable for positioning which is probably why I haven't 
bothered with the replacement power supply yet.

I also haven't seen the need for a home switch on the A axis since it 
ultimately will have a collet chuck clamped to the face plate.  Will need to 
indicate and touch off.

Thanks again for the feedback.
John
