Nice job. I used some .625 plate for mine. I also made a dead center for it.

The ones with York on them are the best & i get them at carboot sales/flee markets very cheap & the bar is good steel to turn down.

Nice work. I like your rotary table. Another thing I need to get still

Great Idea, I did the same thing on a 300mm rotary table, just be mindful of the hole in the center of your table is most likely tapered for a center if you are going to use it to locate your adapter plate The Problem with that being if you want to use it on longer through shafts that need to go through the center hole, I used 19mm plate and spigoted it to the table Outside diameter then used cap screws to hold it down, the adapter was spigoted with countersunk caps crews to a 250mm 3jaw chuck I was Luckey enough the adapter also fit a 6 jaw self centering and my 4jaw independent chuck. Depending on how accurate your needs are most 3jaw chucks have runout tolerances the cheaper the chuck the worse the runout throughout the entire holding range of the chuck Just because it's ok at 25mm dose not mean it's fine at 50 mm so use your dial indicator.

I purchased an 8 inch diameter gray cast disk 3/4" thick from McMaster-Carr for $37 USD to do mine. I purchased an independent 4 jaw chuck to allow me to dial in oddly shaped parts. I like your idea of using York weights. It never occurred to me that I could do that. I will use your idea if I can afford to add a 3 jaw scroll chuck to the rotary table in the future. Great video and great job on the project! You earned my subscription!
