Hi everyone; Here is a pic of my latest project. It's a mill tilting table. sorry there is no drawings. most all my builds are just chicken scratches. If anyone needs a blue print will come up with something. Tilting tables are so handy you don't have to tilt the head and tram it back in again. It's .001 high in one corner but will take care of that problem when I get my next project done (homemade surface grinder). Should be finished shortly.Attachment 6049Attachment 6050Attachment 6051
Great idea and build that looks very versitle! The multiple holes give tons of combinations, and that table could work with all kinds of machines mills, lathes, saws, even just as a welding jig. Thanks for sharing this.
Very well made and capable of many setup options. I like the clean look of the flat head socket screws. Did you also make the screwless vise and side clamps?

I can see that as very handy and expensive to purchase. I like it
Looks great from where I'm sitting, I know what you mean by chicken scratching drawings. :thumbsup:
I just got a compound cross-feed vice....this looks like a good base to mount it to. Gord:)Quote:

Hi Turntable, yes would love a blueprint please. Regards Dave.
Yeah, many years later, but.......potential engravings would be too small a spacing to have any readability. A better solution would use a magnetic analog or digital protractor. You could preset an angle or follow to desired setting, and have an instrument for use elsewhere. The price range selection is very broad.Quote:
