Turntable

[barnesrickw]

I finished my manual turntable, or rotary table. There is no build log because I am never certain I will finish whatI start, and there are only four parts. I drilled the holes in the side to fit the chuck tightening bars that came with my Taig lathe. The top surface holes are tapped and threaded 10-32, again because that seems to be a Taig standard. I need to find a good way to lock it in position, but am happy with the smoothness of the movement, and the flatness and concentricity.

Nice and simple! Come up with a good lock and you can do most things
with that. Circular milling with a long bar for motion; simple.

Hi if you look at my thread on a cheap rotary table you can cut a dovetail slot around the outside and fit T nuts stop.I also used the detent bracket to fit a
simple screw friction brake that can be used as a lock.Your looks similar to mine and i have found it invaluable as a rotary table/deviding head
if you want any details let me know. Regards barry
