Rotary Table Project

With the DRO's and rotary table it was super easy. I have a bolt that I put a small hole in the center of the head so I can mark the center of the RT. I measure off the hole in the center of the RT and go 1/2 the diameter of the largest pattern and start drilling at 0° then 72° ect for all five. Knowing I was going to have 4 bolt patterns I divided there start points equally between the first hole and second one. I had to do it on a spread sheet in excel and print it so I could get it right :-)
 
Hi,
Your rim cutting project worked out very well !
I've also thought about altering rim width but I was always stuck on the lathe being too small :confused: BUT using a rotary table would solve the problem.
I am curious did you check rim run out after the welding. Your welds look great ! ,
If I was to tackle such a job I would tig weld (much less clean up) ... Not everyone has one I know ... and used some thing as a rotater during welding for a perfect bead.
Thank's for sharing
