    It could also damp vibrations...
    Oldham couplings were designed to take out radial misalignment, Those lovejoy couplings are a total waste of time and space for CNC machines, they are better off driving sewerage pumps.

    Yes I know...didn't have time to make an Oldham coupling at the time for the rotary table and haven't bothered since because it works fine. It's only a very very slight misalignment.
