My shop is a mess finally and I have swarf all over the mill and the lathe :D My goal is to turn this chuck of 5.25 x 2 of aluminum: into something like this that will be mounted to my rotary table: I have wanted to do this for a while now and all the postings that have been going on about rotary table adapters have spurred on my want to do one. Currently I am at this point. Once I get everything sorted out and proper dimensions figured out I will post the complete build with the plans as best as I can come up with them. So far I have had a few minor screw ups but nothing I wasn't able to over come. I won't be back in the shop today anymore because SWMBO has other more pressing things for me to do :( Tomorrow however is fathers day and I have been notified that it is mine to do as I see fit. :beer: Cheers all and I will keep you posted as I make progress Bob Note edited to modify the title to reflect it is for the rotary table. ::) |

Bob, Interesting project. :dremel: Aluminum? :bugeye: Aren't you afraid of putting bumbs and dings in it when changing chucks or is it going to be protected from such abuse? Bernd |

Hi Bob I've found my RT/chuck mounting invaluable, for quick sets, you'll find it well worth the effort, look forward to seeing your set up develop. Stew |

Bernb --- End quote --- Bernd, yes aluminum, I had this on hand from a real deal I got on 4 - 8" pieces I picked up a couple of years ago. Money's tight as it is for most of us so this is what I chose, right now I am calling it a prototype but it may very well come out totally usable if I don't cock it up some how. Plus it is light and makes moving the rotary table with it mounted and the 5C collet chuck possible for me w/o a crane of some type. The Bison 3 jaw and 4 jaw chuck's that I have will be another story. I have already dropped it and have taken care of the first ding anxiety :bang: |

Stew --- End quote --- Hi Stew, I have some minor tweaking going on today to make the pieces fit together nicely. At this point I don't see it being done today because as soon as the sun passes far enough to move it off the south side of the house I will be doing some sanding on the south side of the cabin to prepare it for another coat of maintenance stain. It may not appear that bad in the picture but after 4 years of southern exposure I am getting some failure of the original stain. It's not to bad of a job really this time around. The original coat took me almost two summers to do the whole house. |
