It's so obscure that I doubt I will show it. I think there are three other
model 200 owners in this group and I have not heard a peep from them in years.
My toy will be pretty idiot proof. Enter number of indexes. Make your cut,
hit the next key and repeat until your done. If you can't enter a number of
divisions, you can't operate a phone and you might as well step away from any
power tools because you are too stupid to not hurt yourself!

tim,thanks for the explanations...i'll assume roger cannot get rust-oleum
paints...right now i cannot think of any use we might have for the circular
table on the legacy( i do have the accessory)...30 years of making furniture
and various other decorative items, the need for a spiral on a rosette has
never come up...and if it did(my memory is a bit spotty at times!), unless we
needed a good number of pieces, we simply did the work by hand...if it was
straight cuts, we always did the work on our shaper with a french spindle...i
will admit though, i have seen what the computerized machines can do and it is
very impressive...but for where my business is at at this time, for what i see
coming up in the next several years and for what my customers need, i do not
see investing in computer equipment prudent for my shop...plus it would be up
to yours truly to do the programming and i don't see that happening
either...but i do find it interesting...perhaps we can see your mod when it is
done...again,thanks...joe

RAL is a number system for defining paint colors. Similar to RGB or
Pantone that we would use over here.
Arduino is a small platform circuit board that allows a programmable
platform that works with various hardware. Basically it's a mini computer.
When done I'll be able to type in a number of indexes and the indexer will make
it happen. I'll just hit a button to go to the next index. I'll also be able
to enter a program of degrees so is I wanted to go from zero to 45 to 95 to 118
to 240 to 350 and back to zero I will be able to. It will also jog or
constantly turn. All of this without having a PC in the shop. In theory, that
is where I'm going. If not I'll bring the PC into the shop and run it as a cnc
A axis like a normal pc based cnc operates. I'm Just trying to limit g-code
and software steps.

thanks tim for the confirmation...if it's good for you it's good for
me...a question or two...what is a RAL number?...and what is arduino?...if it's
a software program of some type, no detailed explanation necessary...right now
not into the computer controlled thing, although i do have the cnc performance
package legacy sold back in the late 2000's that came with the 1800 i picked up
last year...thanks...joe

Looks very nice Tim.
I cant wait to hear how your new "Toy" works out.
I wish you Luck.

Hi Roger,
I could not tell you the RAL number.
The part is a Tim special that I'm building for myself. I'm working on
an Arduino controlled turn table. The turn table is an Ebay special from 2007.
It's got a 5.5:1 drive ratio and does not use a worm drive to achieve
rotation. This means zero measurable backlash. It's going on my model 200.
The idea is inspired by an article in Digital Machinist magazine. That means
I'm only partially flying blind, it's a nice opportunity to exercise my
programming, electrical and mechanical skills.

Great Tim
Now we know the colour can we have the RAL Number and the real
question is, what is the item in the picture another Tim special?
Regards
Euro Roger
