I Have Resumed Cutting Carbon Fiber Composite

Wayne provided enough information for me to believe that I have a solution to the 1 revolution/day clock drive.  I ordered the stepper motor and the controller because they were not expensive.  If I can get a 30 revs/day output,  I will order the expensive part, the 30:1 gearbox.

I am cutting 1" x 1" squares out of .5" thick carbon fiber plate.  These will be the dust caps for the axis housings.   One cut and sanded, I will put four holes in which I will epoxy 6-32 threaded inserts for the 6-32 stainless steel hex socket screws, so that I can assemble and disassemble as needed.
