Tim,
Very cool designs! I haven't seen any specifics on how you are doing it but
I've seen a few hints! If i were to guess, I would say you are using the TK
reciprocator (or a modified version) and driving/cranking the lathe
spindle. I would think this would make your X-axis oscilate while the
Hi Andy,
The reciprocator limits the travel of the spindle to forwards and backwards
motions so you will not get a rotation of the turn table. Just a partial
rotation. This would create an oscillating pattern but because of the drive
ratio of the rotary table the pattern is not effective. A
Yes. But if you are hand cranking the spindle (instead of the X-axis)and
reversed the recipocator mounting, you would make the X-axis oscillate
(Travel in the positive and negative direcion on the X-axis). I just don't
know if it would work given the factory pitches.

Oh, I see, you might have something there. Rocking the leadscrew back and
forth to get the pumping action. I don't think this would work because the
leadscrew is 1/4" pitch per revolution of the screw. Your range on the
reciprocator is about 1/4 turn or a little more so you would only get 1/6

Do you have a coupler? I am not sure if that is the correct term. Looks like a
universal shaft , connects the table to the headstock and you can use any gear
you want.
