Rotary table - a v. short project

[John Rudd]

After seeking advice on making Tee nuts,

I present to you my 3 inch ( or thereabouts   ) rotary table......Thank you..

That's pretty neat. Does it have a method to lock it down?

Eric,

Its taken from a design published in MEW, October 2008..err no it doesnt have a means of locking the table, although if needed I could add something  I guess.

I decided to make one as my 4 in table is too big for holding smaller parts. This one is just right for producing radius ended con rods especially for my little steam engine I'm building ( another long term project )


After starting the thread, I realised you guys might feel a little short changed not having to read a full blown build, for which I apologise..

Its been one of those jobs that require all my attention and havent had the luxury of time to take any snaps on the way.. I can now get back to building the engine hopefully...Unless I become further distracted...

[Brass_Machine]

Very cool. You make up the short changing us with more pictures 

I will have to get that issue of MEW.

Very nice btw..

Hey John,

That table looks like it could do double duty. Looks like you could ount a tool holder on ther to do balls on the mill.

Think about that a second.
