again i've no experience with the sherline, so it's hard to give specific advice regarding it. Check you have a good ground connection, and check that the direction pulse is correctly switching.

i hate the geneva mechanism, but it does do the job when there's swarf about. The motor / gear drive is much nicer.

great atc, looks very similar to the denford system. One observation though, you will need to cover the gear drive on the carousel as it will hold swarf and jam up relatively easily, a geneva mechanism was introduced to get past this problem.
