So I'm half way across the country visiting my family. While going through some of my father's things, he showed me something. He was given a Jet rotary table from work.
The faceplate on the table is either 12" or 14". It is a horizontal only rotary table, but I'm okay with that since it's free. It has a surface coating of rust on it which will be cleaned soon. It needs to be taken apart to be cleaned and oiled. How does this thing come apart? I notice on the underside are three screws. I can attach pictures later.
Oh yeah, he also gave me a Mitutoyo 0-1" deep throat/sheet metal mic. The last time it went thru the inspection cert. at his work was 1991 and this thing is in mint condition. He also gave me a few Central Tools, not the HF brand, mics. A 0-1",1-2",2-3" and a 3-4". They all have some rust and one of them is seized. I have them currently sitting in a bath of 50% ATF and 50% acetone mixture.
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share the tool score!
