    Default degree settinghead

    I have been trying to get my indexing head going. I think I have everything going. I typed in VD and I have the B set in degrees but when it turns, it doesn't do the right travel. Example, it says it travels at 200 degrees but it actually only moves 10 degrees. I have a 6" indexer, I have a shop bot alpha. I think something is not set right. this is the only thing I am missing and I think I am pretty comfortable with the indexing head. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Default Degree's off..

    Good morning, I just wen through this same adjustment as we just got our indexer setup last week. When I talked with shopbot there was 4 or 5 different settings Ryan took me through. Mine ended up being 45.15 or something. I have a T10 motor, I guess there is a few different possible motors as well.
