I didn't use a dividing plate, never really seen the point when the rotary table has a scale which just move to the right angle.

If you use EMC you can do it in just a few lines of code as, unlike mach3, it supports loops. I just wrote a quick program to write the code for pulleys:

The main reason I did that program was for milling XL pulleys using just a normal endmill, but you can use it with a form tool too.

Double post, deleted.

Ooooo! Nice! A nice spinner, Two more blades, a collective pitch head, free electricity? How about a Turners cube? In one go with an under cut tool like a dovetale. Or something on the same lines? Should keep you busy for a bit ;-)
