Making a Rotary Table
vtsteam:
Norman, looking forward to reading about your upcoming projects.
I've just been trying to get ready for winter here -- cut 10 cords of wood, mixed and poured concrete in a shed and open roofed section near the house, but mainly caught up in volunteer local School Board Director duties -- dealing with district educational financial problems. That's been very wearing, and after 20 months of trying to bring some financial and educational sense to people have decided to resign by January 1. That will allow me more time to do fun mechanical stuff here, plus I'll be able to sleep at night instead of being too frustrated to. I need to focus on more positive things, and communicate with like minded-people. I still volunteer to teach science in our elementary school once a month -- that part is fun!

in a word brill i have the makings ie the worm and gear just need a mill
NormanV:
Two months after saying that I was planning to mke a tailstock for the rotary table I have got around to casting the parts. I am out of practice, first attempt the sand fell out when I inverted the flask. I packed it in tighter for the second attempt and it stayed in.
Not a great casting but it will clean up OK.
vtsteam:
And you've got the mill to do it with, too! :thumbup:
NormanV:
Exactly!
But quite often it is easier and quicker to hold it in the 4 jaw on the lathe.
