Making a Rotary Table
NormanV:
Just goes to show that it is worthwhile paying attention at school!
If you want precision soulless parts CNC is good, but my way produces parts with an individual character of their own! i.e. not high precision but adequate.
Today I drilled some more holes, that's enough for now. I think that will give me all the divisions that I am likely to need but there is space on both discs to add more plus I will cast a couple more for any future special needs.
PekkaNF:
Those looks very good to me.
How do you know how many holes certain circle has?

NormanV:
I shall stamp the numbers on the back, at the moment they are written in pencil.
PekkaNF:
Jup. Stamped numbers are way to go. And over head projector (spirit soluble) pen is good to mark the holes you need. Just to doblecheck. If those arms are lose it's really easy to knock one over or something and results can be humorous.

NormanV:
It's finished! Today I made the retracting pin that locates in the holes and that just about winds it up.
Now I shall have to start investigating gear tooth cutters, I think that it will be fun to have a go at making some gears.
