HI Guys Richard was asking about making a Rotary table. I told him... (Well you can read for your self's, my posting below.) ;-)
Any how I have an Easy turn table that I think anyone with in this group could make easily. Use an old circler-saw blade for your indexing plate. A 10" blade is the right shape, the teeth would be easy to use as locks with just a pin, If you wanted to make it move a simple cam lever could be made to ketch the teeth to pull the plate into a new possession. Its not as quick as a worm gear, but it could be made to work pretty easily I think? I have to get back into the garage now, I only have an hour and half before I need to get to work. Have a great day Everyone.

Hello Richard. The rotary table needs not be complicated. depending on what you want to make, just a lazy sue son with a lock, and or an indexing plate. could work well for you in most cases. If I was going to spend the time to make a new turn table, I think I would try making a worm gear type of table. by using a piece of Alum. and free hobbing a thread onto the plate, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0o3W4_LRBw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIzlg_uObwQ Ive done a job in the past using this method, Its slow but works well. Perhaps this type of method could could work for your gear problem?

Hi Curtis, Funny you should mention a V8------- I did have ,for a very short while a U.S.made Jeep Honcho, I think it had a 3 speed auto box,very wide tires and was next to useless for driving through water and especially muddy water, that I frequently had to do. Forestry roads and tracks. The front tires hit the puddles and it came straight over the windshield, Could not see where I was going for a few seconds/minutes I sold it to someone in Virginia Water in the U.K. near London ( very apt ) Then I bought a V.W. Syncro pick-up and it was four wheel drive diff.locks front and rear, great truck and I kept it and well used it for 21 years,--------no more dirty windscreens. My next job for the Woodchuck is to give it a Rotary Table, when I can think how to make it out of my plywood, the gears may be my problem !!!??

Curtis The paint is " Two Pack" Ford radiant red, funny you should mention automobiles (old bangers ) The paint I got from my friend who was painting an old M.G. Sports car. He get some of the cars that he rebuilds from the U,S.A. Myself I would rather have a newer V.W. The Paint is very hard, but time will tell !!?? I enclose another pic of the spindle drive set up, 440Volt but driven by an inverter that converts it to single phase220 volt. I can control the speed from next to nothing right up to far too much for the Woodchuck. The caster wheels, each with a brake, are very handy for moving it around The drive pulley for the spindle is made from Birch Ply painted with aluminium paint.All the best Richard On Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at 2:21:39 PM UTC+1, Curtis wrote: <blockquote> Hello Richard. I like it ! What kind of paint did you use? My only concern is, if the paint will scratch or peal off, But she dose look Pretty! Remember to use lots of wax on the rails to keep them lubricated. I cant wait to see some projects coming off of this Newly restored Wood Chuck. What's Next? adding a V-8 engine , or having your gears chromed out ? ;-p I'm sorry, (I hope my comments are not mistaken here.) You see, I live right off of Woodward ave. the home of the Dream Cruse. (Motor city, Detroit MI. ) I see muscle cars, and all kinds of hot rod every day through out the summer months. I think , Your new Candy Apple red paint job, would make any, motor head go jealous. ;-) Good job Richard. C.A.G.
