I've sent AdeV a PM and text so hopefully he will soon be aware and be able to get us up and running again.

Tools / Re: Measuring backlash on rotary table
« Last post by Dell on Today at 03:47:56 AM »It seems that backlash compensation is done by going back how ever many steps set in settings then forward to position but as philf said I should normally only be going in one direction most of the time.

A very short week of one day! due to busy commitments on all other fronts, but next week should be a full one! I finalise the design for the heat exchanger and get it about 3/4 finished. Amazing how these back of the head designs suddenly come together and start to make sense!

Haven’t done any more recently due to having a few clocks to service but hopefully now I have caught up I can get back onto it, I want to be able to cut clock wheels & pinions .

Then I don't think you need to worry about compensating for backlash as you'd generally be working in one direction only and could lock the rotary table (which I assume you can use vertically as well as horizontally.)

I attempt a fix on a linear acutator in a rise and fall column for a piece of opticians equipment, and then on to the workshop heating. I find all the plumbing bits I need and build the heat exchanger for the ducted air heating in the workshop!
