Absolutey, I will definitely have pics up but please don't hold your breath as it's slow going as this is a very busy time of year for me.

I have started the base to hold the sherline rotary table horizontally, so I am getting there, just s-l-o-w-l-y- 

I'd like to see pics of your setup so post some if you can

Hi Art, if it helps, I'm using an Nvidia Geforce 6800 video card.

Ok, had a little time to play today and did a few tests with some profiles but I'm not sure how much help I'll be.

I used this profile from Rich the first time with success :



I had these results in the pics below. Pay no attention to the missing cut lines as I paused through it part way and it really did seem to "cut" everything well. I'm also including my Diamond tool profile so that you can see exactly what I used.

Terry,

Could you share where you got that for that price?

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for that-

Never be sorry for updating Art, I just wish I could put in some helpful input for you to use but I'm still a yutz when it comes to turn.
 
Thanks for working so hard on this!
