Tools / Measuring backlash on rotary table
« Last post by Dell on March 26, 2024, 07:26:56 AM »
am motorising my rotary table using stepper motor and World of ward’s controller and it has backlash compensation in the settings but how do I measure it , on the handle vernier it’s just over 1 and a 1/2 notches but that’s not very accurate is it so I would like to be more precise .

Decided against making the end nuts do double duty and have knocked up 3 7/8UNEF grub screws instead. pic makes them look much worse than they are but I really should have faced them after parting them off but its not like I'm going to give them anyone else.

Spacers are made and with them in the way shown it will take about 65mm bar. I may need to make some half size spacers but need to get hold of more tube for that as I just about had enough for these.

Progress so far: I have made the brass holders and all thats left to do on them is to bore the end once I have the brass which I forgot to pick up on friday  :doh: then work out how I make the adjusters. I am thinking that the end caps might do double duty but not decided yet.

Hope it is gone for good,


It made a brief return at the weekend - apparently buzzing around my head in a small jet engined vehicle  . I feel ok at the moment.

You have my deepest sympathy  -  I know some of the locals had the trucks from Felixstow and Harwich trundling past the home in the early hours when they closed the main road -  It would caused nightmares ... had they been able to sleep.

Luckily I've had the demon to keep me company while the A12 work is progressing - It didn't wake me last-night - I'm hoping the trend continues...

After having the channel stopped for a while, I return with a video of a metal sawing machine rescued from scrap metal
