 ::The major difference in a glassblowing lathe is there are 2 motors, one on each end that move in unison and the tail stock motor needs to move. A typical glassblowing lathe will have a common gear that drives both motors, but the need for the tailstock assembly to move adds a level of complication. We are proposing to use two stepper motors run by the smae driver??? (see below).
