I would invite everyone who has a homemade powder feed to post a video. That would help me, and also others to get some great ideals.

could not see the video

I may have to resort to something like that. How does it work, is there enough torque ?

I just don't have the smarts to install something like that.

PM450M Very similar to this but without the power feeds http://www.precisionmatthews.com/shop/pm-833t/

I have a PM450M, and I would like to add a power feed to the X axis. About the only one I can find, that I know will fit, is a AL500, PM833T. Measuring 17x13x12 this unit seems like overkill for my small mill. Also it has to be mounted in the vertical position, so this takes up even more room in...

I'm have been making preparations for building the Kerzel. I would like to purchase all of the required tools before I get started. This will include a rotary table as well. I have gone through the diagram and made a list of the tools required. I see from some of the post, that some different...

WOW!! Maybe this wasn't a simple question!

Would anyone have any experience or knowledge of this rotary table ? They offer it in two sizes, a 6" and an 8". Could it be a generic of the Vortex ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/311611757244...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT __________________

OUTSTANDING! I like it!

Rod, Thanks for that info. Unless I get very lucky, I figured I'd have to do as you did. Any ideal what the center to center dimensions were before you machined them?

John, I have read through the link you posted. Did so when I was considering the RT from LMS. Your statement then raised more questions. Is the LMS, RT better quality then the Vertex, and what role does the ratio play? 72-1 LMS as to 90-1 with the Vertex. Also looking at the 6" Vertex I cannot...

Guys I have been reading through all of these post, and their accompany links. One big thing I have learned is, I have a lot to learn. This is all great information. At the moment I'm leaning towards the 6" Vertex, and it's accessories. But I'm going to continual to study up before I make a...

I can see where a stepper motor would be a big plus, but right now,I think I need to crawl a bit,before I step up. :D Can we talk a little about division plates? How do I determine how many to buy,and which ones I will be needing? Also would a four jaw Chuck be better option than a three?

That was the first RT. that I considered, but didn't think I could handle the weight. The second was also from The Little Machine Shop, but is a four inch,and is much less in weight. There is a link to it in my original post.It also has a Chuck, dividing plates,and a tail stock.

Lots of good information here. I have much to consider. Thanks

My mill is a PM450G, it has a 8 1/4" x 28 3/4" table. X travel 17 3/8", Y travel 11", Z travel 17 1/2" Spindle to table 20 1/2"

Very nice.

I have been looking at different rotary tables, and I'm thinking this one from Little machine Shop might be the one to get. Asking what you guys use and why? Am I going to small, or maybe buying to much? I would like to learn how to make gears. Appreciate your input before I put my money down...
