Z mounted 4th axis

i kinda thought that would maybe be the problem as the shaft is only 25mm, its a bit to much to get to take the risk. i found something in germany but with very little details on it. i dont suppose it would be to hard to build something so will just have to see and its not vital to have it just thinking it would be kinda cool if i could do it relatively easily.

Building one is the easy bit.? Programming the machine to use it is the hard and expensive bit. This takes you into 5 axis realms and kinetics which becomes a whole new ball game.!! . . . . Like you say COOL but expensive and a challenge for even experienced CNC users.!
