I have a Taig 4axis miller. Main use: profiling clock wheels. I have fitted my dividing head and rotary table with stepper motors, and with the use of DivisionMaster, cutting wheels with odd and large numbers of teeth is much more certain. Crossing out wheels on the rotary table now requires Gcode for one section, index the table, restart the programme, have another cup of coffee.
I have just got the 4th axis into operation. I needed something to try it out and cut a 12 tooth 7 DP helical gearwheel (in softwood) with 17 degree twist, with just a 0.125" straight-sided slot drill. Awsome!
