In this video, I’m documenting the assembly, installation, and alignment of an Avid CNC Rotary Axis for my Avid 4848 Pro CNC Router. I’ll first show you the assembly of the rotary axis. Then I’ll show you how I removed my old spoilboard, mounted the axis to my machine frame, then walk you through the process for aligning the axis with the machine frame step by step.

I've got to agree. Avid has some of the best instructions on the planet. I can't wait to see what you are going to do with the 4th axis!!!

What? Following the manufacturer’s instructions? Where’s your sense of adventure? Takes all the fun out of having to redo things. Well done, looking forward to your first spinning wheel spindles.

Great video Mark I know it was alot more work and time than the video shows.

Believe it or not, John, it's not as much work as you'd think. If a person had a whole day to his or herself, they could easily go from boxes of parts to having it up and running in a day. The main reason it took me as long as it did was because I didn't have a whole day to devote to it. The alignment was tedious, but other than that, from start to finish I had it done in 2 days.

By chance, I just received my 4th axis from Avid earlier in the week. This video goes a long way in removing some anxiety and dread about setting things up. I should get a torque wrench. What is the torque suggested for extrusion? You are an easy-to-listen-to teacher and your videos are clean and void of fluff - a testament to your editing.

I do appreciate your kind words, but I think my editing needs a lot of work. Just my opinion, but thank you again. I'd say 99.999% of people don't bother with a torque wrench. They just snug it up and move on. Avid themselves suggest that. I spent too much time in the army working on helicopters to not have at least a suggested torque value, but that's just me. I spoke with the folks at 8020, and they recommend a torque of 15-18 ft lbs., but DO NOT go past 20 ft lbs. Basically, if you tighten it until it's tight, you'll be fine.
