I had occasion to need a tilt table to make the fingers for my bending brake but did not have one, can't afford to buy one so ...... I did what I do best in these instances. I MADE ONE! I used pieces of scrap steel left over from other projects and whipped up a little table in two afternoons. It was not really accurate but could be set up to the one position I needed and used for the repetitive job it was intended for. Now I wanted to polish it up and make it a precision piece of tooling I can use with confidence on any project. The attached PDF file shows the basic table design and how to make it better. This table took two afternoons to build and another two afternoons to polish into a nice piece of tooling.
This is the finished table and attached is the build write up.
