Rotary table questions

[yota]

I'm thinking someone had to have crashed this on their mill to break these off.

... filled the oil reservoir with light hydraulic oil...

I don't understand what you mean by this. What oil reservoir? I also have a phase II 10".
Thanks

there is a base cavity that I believe bathes the worm gear. you fill it up until oil shows in the sight glass. see pg 2 of owners manual link, highlighted in yellow. https://docs.travers.com/assets/pdf/65-220-006_manual.pdf

Upon a closer look, mine is not a Phase II. The 1st one I got was damaged in shipping and I had it apart to determine the extent. It was lubed with grease. I repaired the damage and sold it for 1/2 price. Company sent me a new one and told me not to return the 1st.

good suggestions. need to get a finishing tool. I guess it would be pretty easy to grind one out of HSS

12L14 makes machining easy.
It’s 170 on the machinability scale. Hot rolled steel is under 100.

@axa88 the link appears dead; could you describe it better or provide another link? I have 2 dividing heads and 3 rotary tables, so I might be able to help.
