Rotary table re-ferb ready for stepper motor
Hi All
This is the progress so far on the motorisation of my rotary table. Both the table and tail-stock were striped down for cleaning as I had to make a new modified worm shaft for 14mm Flexible Plum Coupling, so thought it would be a good idea as I had to take some of the table apart to get the old shaft out. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/...rm-shaft-75693
Unfortunately I got a bit carried away and decided a re-paint would be a good idea :headscratch:
So all the the castings were striped down to bear metal and sprayed. I have reassembled both table and tail-stock and I am happy with the result even though I did wonder if it was worth it at the start.
The next part of the build will be a mounting bracket to go between the Nema 34 stepper motor and the table. Below are some photos of the project
