Nothing less than brilliant, loved the casting and all that machining. Now you have a dividing head that is ready for the next project. And you are not set back the big bucks, from cast to finish. Georgious

Thanks Nelson.
I actually have a use for my Rotary Table, I would like to make some gears for a project that I started last year. I had considered using a chain drive but the original had gears and now that I have the RT I might just as well have a go at gears. Before I can do them I will need a tailstock. Here is a sketch of what I am thinking of making. I am planning to use three castings as that will make it easier to machine. The centre height will be adjustable to match the RT when it is stood on end.

There is no limit to what can be made. Aluminum is a soft metal but for what we do it is more than do-able. Very nice RT and now we are looking for the tail stock. Just love to see the parts evolving from wood to metal and then finish and assembled. There is no stopping.
Looking Good
