Nice one Stuart - just a bit big for my watch parts!! I'm interested in 5-axis but haven't even managed to get 4 under proper control yet - what software are you using, I assume you aren't programming it all by hand? Shame about your difficulty aiming your squirter - must be an old-age problem

Hi Jon, On the other end of the scale I once set up a test bed with a MT30H4 SEM servo motor being driven by a 1525BR servo amp at 165 V (pretty hot) using the ppmc board set. The SEM had a 2.5" dia by 2.5" piece of bar stock as a flywheel. Accel was set at 400 in/sec/sec (slightly above 1 G).
