Hi Steve,
I think this rotary table was designed to be an A axis for a good sized
mill.
Thanks for the tips on the Monarch machines. I'll take a look.
I was looking around the web and I didn't realize that some rotary table
manufacturers make 2 axis rotary tables. Those can't be cheap.

This one weighs considerably more. I can pickup 250 lbs, but I had a
hard time sliding this one once I got it in my pickup truck bed.
We used an engine hoist to load it as there was no way that two of us
could lift it.It is programmable and has some type of air lock
device in it also along

Hi Dave:
If you can find a 5 axis machine on the cheap that is great. Usually
cheap is worn out or/and old technology and 5 axis machines are
relatively new. 5 axis profiling machines have been around for quite a
while but I don't think they can move all the way around a part, which

My 12 inches CNC rotary table weighs closer to 250 lbs.

I just bought a large rotary table with an integral servo drive and
motor. It has a 12" diameter slotted face plate and must weigh at

I'm looking for suggestions on what VMC might be big enough to h

Using a piece of the electric plane blade, I machined a 1/4" thick piece of
hot roll with a dovetail profile that included a high center so as to flex
the carbide ever so slightly, but when trimming it to length with a diamond
wheel, I overshot it a couple of thou. So I cut a hacksaw slot in th
