Rotary Table Centreing

<< < (5/6) > >>

Stilldrillin:
Clock the hole in the centre of the r/t, which centres the spindle to it.

Zero X & Y axese...... Lock slides.

Mount your chuck/ component to r/t. Tap true to clock. Tighten onto r/t.

Pace out as necessary......

Rotate r/t as necessary...  :thumbup:

Yup, OK when you've seen it done. Not so obvious if not ..

I had no idea it was OK to grab the finger thingy, and point it where you liked, without destroying the clock ...  :doh:
So I've sorted mine out to look a bit like Dave SD's arrangement ..

Works well for me now   thanks to Dave SD all is sweetness and light.. till summat else crops up I suppose ..

Darren:
Mine has a little lever on the back that adjusts the arm position, well i assume that's what it's for.

Mine has a very short arm, a longer one like yours would be handy....
