While looking at your photos I realized that I could have almost the same rotary table. It was recently given to me. Mine is a craftsman and is mounted on an x-y cross slide. but some of the castings look the same to me in the picture. Yours has a larger diameter wheel for rotary motion with 3' graduations while mine has 25' I have not used it yet and so far the only project that I was considering required it to be mounted vertically instead of horizontally. I really don't think I need the x-y cross slide and that part of the table seems kind of weak and makes the table only usable for light duty work in my opinion. So I like Andy's idea of mounting it by the dovetail. In my case I think I would just mill the dovetail in a steel plate. I happen to have a 6" x 6" x 1.25" chunk. Then I would use it with an angle plate.
As for making the dovetail longer and making longer gibs, I think that should be easy because the gibs in my cross slides are not tapered. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LKqYyhrobTuNMJir6 John Figie > > _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
