I'm going to build some sorta equivalent of this mount. Here we go. Before I started, I thought I would tram my mill. ...And it was off about .0015 I'm starting with a 2.25" square piece of 6061 for the mount. First I squared 1 end. Then flipped a found the edges and set the tool height. Matt |

Hi Matt, it looks like there's a rotary table bug going around, seems like everyone want's electronic controls on their rotary table. I take it you are doing this job on a CNC mill? Some pictures of your machine in action would be interesting. I look at your milling out that round pocket with envy, I either put it on a rotary table and turn it by hand, or a four jaw, and turn it in the lathe. That first piece looks pretty good, it's a nice start, you should tell us where you aim to go with this, or offer prizes for proper guessing. Are you developing the electronics yourself, or are you using a package deal? What size table is that, and what worm ratio? Just asking questions as I will be doing my own when I get past the projects already on burners, and the more info there is, the easier it is to make choices. It's good to see a new project starting up with a relatively new member, welcome from North Carolina, :poke: mad jack |

1hand, I'd advise against using one of these Lovejoy type couplings. They are designed for axial misalignment and when doing these RT's if there is any misalignment it's always radial. Look at Bog's post on his and use Oldham couplings, they are zero backlash and will handle both radial and axial misalignment. Plus feature is they are often shallower and save more space. John S. |

A few more. Matt |
