Shows a demo of my freshly installed 4th axis -- a VERY old Troyke U12PNC CNC rotary table. It has a "resolver" instead of an encoder and I had to add a resolver converter card to get resolver signal into EMC control box in form of quadrature encoder. 

The mill is a Bridgeport Series II Interact 2.

See http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Bridgeport-Series-II-Interact-2-CNC-Mill/24-Troyke-Rotary-Table-U12PNC/ for details.

The demo does not actually cut anything just to cut down on noise, but also because I need to find a good way to permanently mount the chuck on the RT.
