Where did you get the harmonic drive / which one? Please do put photos up! A harmonic drive looks like a great way to do a B/C axis to rotate the spindle - something I would like to do on my router once I've made the sturdier frame.

howdy jonathan, i stalked ebay for months to get this harmonic drive... think i paid about £110 for it, it was in mint condition...i think it was pulled from a prototype that didnt quite come to anything and was a costom order from LLC 60:1 ratio (strange)

iv just rendered out a video with it in, ill try to post it up on the forum in a mo, itll give you an idea of what i did :)
