At one point I wanted to lock the table and was not comfortable with the detents. I thought about the hole as you described the problem with that is it will only lock in as many positions as you drill holes. I came up with 2 better sugestions first was a wedge made with soft wood placed on two sides of the table and second was I had a rare earth magnet that snugly fit between the table and base
Another thing I figured was the detents do help and can hold if you take reasonable cuts. So you may want to divide the cut and make it in two or three passes Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: begatbrown <darylmichaelsc...@gmail.com> Sender: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 08:50:25 To: Legacy Ornamental Mills<legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Reply-to: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Looking for a Means of Locking the Rotary Table to make straight cuts Hello All, I've been working on the template to make glue spars for columns, but have had problems with the rotary table drifting while I make cuts without turning. There is no lock for the handle and it occurs to me that I could drill a series of small holes in the table between the teeth and place pin in them to fix the table. (Oh, you alter-the- machine guys are a bad influence.) Before I get to drilling, I thought I check in to see whether someone has found another solution. I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. Begat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
