    Very nice set up! I wish I could mount that on my machine but alas there isn't the room. What are there specs for the geared stepper motor that drives it? Backlash?

    The indexer is working beautifully, controlled by a little arduino. After 25 revolutions (625 of the stepper) the mark lines up. There appears to be zero backlash, I will need to confirm that. Next...

    Ok I think I just figured it out; 500 steps per revolution, 360 degrees per revolution= 500/360= 1.3889
    1/8 steps in shopbot programming= 1.3889 x 8= 11.1112
    25:1 reduction= 11.1112 x 25= 277.78

    Very cool! So what you are showing me there with that chart is that my resolution is actually double of what I had calculated.
