Good Evening, I have added a new rotary table to my KX3 as a 4th axis. I would like to run it continuously for short periods of tme but have not been able to do so, can anyone tell me how it can be done please.

If you set-up your rotary axis as a Spindle (with the appropriate step and direction) then you can run it continuously.
