Homemade Lever Operated Rotary Table for Milling

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Young man, your talents are most impressive. Old fart and hobbyist from Tx. If my cancer will leave me be, I must add one to my tooling. Bear.

[@andrewstorer4875]

This is a great little radiusing jig! I'm absolutely adding this to the (ever expanding) list of shop projects

[@scotthaddad563]

I used to have access to machines where I worked. Not a trained machinist by any means but I made some really unique stuff. Boy do I miss those machines. This late in life with what I know now I would be dangerous lol!

[@brucematthews6417]

Just showed up as a suggestion for me. One of the nicer hand controlled radius cutting tables I've seen. I especially liked how you were able to extend the use of it with some simple attachments. I'd need to size it to suit my own mill's and mill vise sizes. But I like the concept. I think I might see if I can find the old Bellville washers I've got set aside someplace as the tensioning force too.

[@MichaelJHathaway]

I love this makeshift rotary table, this is great! My rotary index is so heavy, I have to lift it with a hydraulic table, just to get it up onto the mill.

[@kev7777777777]

Ya, that's what I like about it, I can just throw it in the vice in two seconds if I need to round off some corners. I rarely use my rotary table.

@@kev7777777777 I sent you an email for a ebike frame, are you no longer manufacturing them?

[@JeremiahL]

Wow! Great idea. Not something that you see every day. I'm sitting here imagining all of the applications that I can make easier with something like this.

[@southerningenuity4458]

That sir, is awesome! I love it. It just goes to show that a little ingenuity can solve most problems (and save you some money too). Great video!

[@backyardmachinist]

This is the slickest way to make a tube bending die on KZbin, kudos. Someone cast thiers in aluminum and polished it. Another used a rotary table and a boring head. And another used a large lathe with a radius cutting tool. This is the best however. One would spend hundreds to get a rotary table that could cut radii as big as some in this vid. The only thing i see as a potential downside is the fact there's no way to measure how many degrees its rotated. Maybe pins?

[@justinejacks0n]

What can be made with a simple milling machine and a little ingenuity!

[@squiresuzuki]

Excellent! Two ideas for improvements, perhaps unnecessary: a jam nut on the shoulder bolt nut to keep it from loosening / holding preload, and replacing the grease with brass shim stock?

[@P0PE]

I would never be able to have one of these. I’d use it way too often for projects where it isn’t necessary just because it looks super fun to use.

This is the guy I tried sitting next to during tests in high school.

[@kev7777777777]

I was not good at school, just mechanical things.

Thank you so for this video bro,I will use your idea in my diy bicycle project thank you so much🙃❣The rotary table are so expensive, and very necesarry in all mechanical workshop,now i can build my own😁

Awesome! This is now on my list of tvings i want to make!

Will you share a drawing for the table? I am wonder how you determine the placement of the holes for the top and bottom plates. Love the design.

Yes, I have a solidworks file, or pdf prints

[@НиколайКрымский-б1л]

При обработке длинных заготовок на радиус нужно быть максимально внимательным при подводе фрезы к боковой стенке - очень вероятен подрыв и втягивание фрезы в материал

[@kreasiumum]

Good this video, thanks

[@jckdnls9292]

how accurate are you with this? +/- .010? also, are you not a fan of climb milling and perhaps a little mister on the tool? 🙂

[@kev7777777777]

I would say +/- .005 is doable. As for climb milling, you have to very careful that it doesn't suck it in and pull the lever out of your hand. I finish the cut with a climb mill for the last cut only taking off about .01

[@Blou55]

Did you ever tried to make steel works with it?

[@kev7777777777]

You could do steel, but would need to take much smaller cuts.
