I thought I would share the MKII version of my Gary Liming based rotary table. I actually built this for a friend that traded me a TIG for it (would have done it for free but hey...I needed a Tig). I wanted something where you didn't need a wall wart to power the Arduino controller and more of a "pendant" style controller. The hand held controller was cast in aluminum at home as well as the motor mount. Not shown is the driveshaft which I home anodized in blue. To power the Arduino I added a small board with an 8V regulator and it seems to work OK so far. There is a lot of fussy soldering going this route but I was happy with the result. The hand held controller is connected to the main box via a 9 pin D sub connector. This is a minimum and even at this I had to put the reset switch on the main box.
