Hello and Good morning Dewell
I can (or wont) sell you any thing that I own, but I can tell you how to make
your own home made Moulding table as well as another way to get the indexing
done with out the plates (or counting holes.) ;-)
To make the moulding table is pretty stright forward, a board of MFD or any
smooth board will work, just cut it and mount it between the rails of your
machine. You can make or use already made feather boards and a solid edge glued
and screwed on to the table you have all the parts needed for this set up. you
will also need to make two more feather boards that will mount onto your
carrage and used as hold downs. Its a pretty simple moulding set up to make.
Legacy on there CNC vidoes now show a table set up that uses large holes (like
you kind you use in most work benches, 3/4" pegs.) I like there new design
more that what I made a few years ago. On mine I cut slots in the board and
used carrage bolts and plastic knobs for my adjustments (for the
hold-downs/feather boards.)
Mike Pung wrote an artical on Gear indexing that gives you a un-limmited
possibilitys for indexing, and you already own the equipment needed to use his
method.( This is a copy from our archives.)
Crank Handle Indexing.
There are quite a few times that we need an index count that we may not
own. This is not a problem, all you have to do is look at the pitches
that you are capable of. Then go with what you know.
1. Every crank of the handle is going to send the carriage down the
rails 1/4"
2. When you are on a set pitch you will need "X" number of turns to
make the wood stock rotate once.
Lets see what this will do for us
1" pitch = 4 turns to rotate once
4" pitch = 16 turns to rotate once
6" pitch = 24 turns to rotate once
See what is happening?
One crank on a 6" pitch will rotate the stock 1/24th of an inch. If you
rotate once and cut 24 times you will have a perfect 24 indexed flute or
bead.
2 will be 1/12th rotation 3 will be 1/8th rotation
Just use your gear sets that you have and apply the math.
Here is a fun one
2X gear on a 15 pitch = 60 rotations or 60 indexes
If you would turn 1/2 turn and run the router it would be a 120 indexed
project
need 40 indexes? 60 divided by 40 = 1.5 That's right turn 1 and a half
cranks and run the cut.
Well hopefully I have yammered on long enough to get you thinking.
Mike
Please let me know what you think? the rotary table is a bigger project that
has also be talked about a lot in the archives, I would recemend that you take
a look at what others have already done in the past. ;-)
Have a Great day.
