Rotary table power feed

Mostly finished it today. Still needs some paint but I may wait till I can do it outside. Would also like to make an easily removable hand crank. As it is now a set screw has to be loosened to put the crankless hub on (hanging on the handle in the pic).

Hello Aaron, looks great. As for the handle maybe a 4" round handle with a folding handle to keep from it grabbing you (like the style on your mill) As far as the gear backlash, you now get it by moving the mounting arm either forward for more or back for less backlash. Once you establish it scribe a mark on the base of the R/T to correspond with the mark on the mounting arm. It sounds like a pain but it's an easy set up. Split the common on the feed for both directions. Again, looks good, You will have cleaner cuts now.
