Hi Jim, The axis is set as ANGULAR, so the feedrate is in degrees/minute I assume. The INPUT_SCALE is set to rotate the spindle by degrees and I have confirmed that this is what it does by measurement. I need it to work in degrees for such things as gear cutting or milling squares on shafts etc. and I also need to be able to program it to turn a given number of times for threading etc. I am also planning to make a little clock pulse generator so that I can run the spindle independantly of the rest of the cnc for basic lathe turning.
