Hi everyone,

After much study and work and help from this forum and other resources, I have my servo powered 4th axis up and running. It does everything I wanted it to do.

In the current arrangement, the mill spindle stays active and still functions as normal.

For now, some interesting programming is needed along with a custom macro to do the thread passes, but in time, I think Mach3 will have features to make this much better.

I don't plan to make aluminum bolts from round stock. The part just demonstrates the various functions I wanted to get working.

NICE JOB,  Just a note on the indexer head . If you plan to use it much machine the housing for seals or orings and fill the cavity with oil to lube the shaft and housing. We used those for a few projects and that helps keep them going without much wear.
