The final addition to the "studio"
First: My setup will not make the small slices That Sippy Jug gets, and it was not intended too, But it does allow me to get sharper images of the subjects I shoot!!!
The reason for this setup was I am lazy 😉 and I want to be able to make changes easier when I am setting up a shot without getting up to move the subject manually.

This should be my last change, in the other post I had a small lightweight cross slide "milling" table supporting the. Camera with a nikkor 200mm f4 macro lens, due to the weight of the rig the milling table adjustments would bind.
And I thank Sippyjug for putting me on to the table because it work and was in my price range.
The rail in the photograph retails for $419 and is OVER KILL, but it is stable and I now have electronic control over all of the movements for the camera. I did find this rail on Facebook Market Place for $100 and a 140 mile round trip!!
I did replace the had wheel with a stepper motor for approx,$40 and a couple of hours labor.
I put the final touches on this at 4:30 this morning
The controller is the little white box on the left of the bench, I gives me fore and aft , left and right movements and allows me to rotate the subject CW or CCW.
The little controller on the right controls the Fore and aft, left & right and up & down movements of the "stage".
Plus manual coarse movements of the stage.
