Simple Rotary Table

Ray, that dial turned out wonderfully!
Great work!

Thanks brino
After examining the dial closer it is some of the 5 degree marks that are off by about 1/2 degree. All the 1 degree lines and the 90 degree lines look fine. It must have been that I had the brake a little too tight when I did the 5 degree lines.

You have done a top job Ray. Well done.
I like Projects that start out with "what if I..."

Marking holes for my 4" 4 jaw chuck mounting plate.

Here it is all done for now.

I may add some T slots later but most of my work will be either in the 4 jaw or through the morse taper.
It weighs just over 11 pounds and very sturdy.

When I started I was going to make a simple rotary table but as it progressed the project just kept on growing.
I have surprised myself how it turned out.

I want to thank everyone for suggestions and encouragement along the way.
Thanks for looking

I told my friend Chris that I was going to make a box to store the rotary table and the pieces that went with it and he said it will probably be some exotic thing with mitered corners.
"No" I told him just a simple wood box for storage.
Well like so many of my projects it got a little out of hand and one thing led to another.

The table sits in a recess in the bottom and I had to cut out some of the side for the table to fit.
It has felt feet on the underside so it won't get scratched.
Maybe over the top?

Thanks for looking

It resembles a treasure chest.......but that's fitting, considering the contents.
Well done all around.
