Here is my proxxon doing a test cut in blue foam using my homemade 4th axis. It is the hub for the propeller of a nautilus submarine model. I made it for someone but they never did anything with it unfortunately.

I'm using a counter module to provide a numerically controlled oscillator, the frequency is updated at a regular interval to implement a smooth trapizoidal velocity profile. Distance is the integral of the frequencies. Inspired by the g-rex by geckodrive.com

See other video for details, the speed is very much limited by the computer on the arcs as you can see by the rapid moves between letters.

Now I have fixed up the code so I know how far it actually rotates the stepper motor. This shows 50 rotations of the stepper with trapezoidal acceleration up to some ungodly speed which is no use in practise (too little torque).
