okay, driving home last night(1 3/4 hours!), came to the conclusion that a long length of a "wave" pattern for the z axis is not going to work... it would work when doing spindles, but not when the z axis was stationary and indexed cuts were desired... and to consider having one set of "rosettes" set up when doing spindle work and another when the z axis is in one, set position is not ideally desired either, at least in my opinion... too many setups, brackets, etc. … although it might be a considerable option, if an all around setup cannot be designed and made... so it's back to the drawing board, as the saying goes... I think Mike's idea of pumping the Z axis is spot on and the easiest way to achieve this mod... the problem now is how to get it to work in perfect unison with the lead screw, with no back lash... always impressed with Mike's solutions and jigs, i'll be interested to see what he might come up with for this... no pressure Mike!, LOL!... later... Joe
