Making a Rotary Table

<< < (2/20) > >>

NormanV:
Thanks Steve, I won't be going back to charcoal unless there is no other choice.
I've started machining the main casting, I did the top and bottom surfaces with the casting held in the 4 jaw chuck in the lathe, I was delighted with the finish that I achieved. There were no bubbles or inclusions in the metal.
I've also done two of the sides on my milling machine, I was a little nervous of holding such a tall casting in the vice but I needn't have worried, it held very securely. Tomorrow I will do the other two sides.

vtsteam:
Nice having a mill to do that with!  :thumbup:  :beer:

mattinker:
Thanks NormanV,

I'm enjoying this!

Regards, Matthew

Norman,

Super work.  :thumbup:

What's next after you finish the rotary table?

Phil.

Am I missing something here, I would imagine that you need a tail for this, or a second bearing, or is the table surface also a bearing surface to the rotab table? I'm not trying to be a pain, just curious.
