Making a Rotary Table

<< < (7/20) > >>

vtsteam:
Coming along nicely, Norman! :clap:

mattinker:
I'm really enjoy your threads!

Regards, Matthew

NormanV:
Thank you Steve and Matthew. Tomorrow I'll be working on the main spindle. Trouble is I don't have a piece of steel the right size so I will have to try to work out another solution.

NormanV:
The main spindle is done. I just made it from two pieces of steel bolted together. I may cut a keyway to engage with the worm wheel but it is quite a snug fit and may not be necessary.

NormanV:
I cast the table today, despite my misgivings I used charcoal again. This time it was much more successful, it only took an hour to complete the melt and used half as much charcoal. I had a stronger air blast and that seemed to do the trick.
I've also machined it all over and it is now mounted on the spindle.
