Hello Bill
Yes I've made a hollow spiral that way before. What a pain! The Legacy way
is much easer!
Sometimes we need to stop and take a look around. A different perspective of
any problem can be a good idea. It just might make you relies that our
little problems realy are not all the important in the large scheme of
things. ;-)
Thanks for the article, Bill.
Have a good day.
C.A.G.

Hi ppl.yup my mdf.was a tad proud and I had to shave it,I use a
Revo,but the rotary table needed lubing and the Delron spacers shaved
to all match,but it is a great addition to anybody's tools,MAC.

I never machined my top on my rotary table. I know others have. I guess
that would true up the surface rather than fixing the delrin pads. I do
know your table top would run into my 20 tooth gear and I would not be
able to turn my table. The large gear is 13.5" diameter.
Here's a picture that show how my 20 tooth gear stick above the rotary
table by .110".
I did a quick and dirty trim job on the waste board to make it fit
originally.
Is this the way it looks on everyone's table?

sorry Tim I was incorrect before... measuring with a tape
my large gear on the rotary table is just over 13 1/2 dia and to correct
my self I need to learn to read a tape ha ha the blank is 13 3/8 dia it
sits nice just smaller than the teeth on the large gear
I don't know if mine is strait or not I just machined it true after
attaching my blank to it

Hi Bill,
So your stock table is hanging over the gears on the large diameter gear?
That would really cause problems on mine. I also found out last night
that
the table is not level to the base. The 4 delrin spacers that support the
table are all different heights on my table. That's an easy fix, but a
bit
of a surprise. Also discovered the table has a huge dip in the center.
With the mdf in place it does not matter, but interesting to note.

well my table is for the revo which I add too to fit the 900 as well but
it seems to be the same dia gears
my blank is 13 5/8 dia which is 1/8 larger than what I think you said
yours was

Subject: Rotary Table odd question
Hello All,
When I bought my rotary table I discovered that the mdf waste board
provided by Legacy was too big for the table. It was 13.25" in diameter.
The diameter made it hard to turn because the 20 tooth gear on the rotary
table ate into the mdf and left dimples where the teeth were hitting. I
ended up turning the table down to 13.125" and it fits just fine. My
question is this, did anyone else have the same problem?
-Tim
