So I got this small tilting rotary table. The problem with it was to secure it to the table. I got it for a good price at it was new but needed some repairs.
While it was undergoing the Kerosene overhaul, I taped some M6 holes into the base where there was material to do so.
Then found a scrap piece of Ali plate, matched the 4 M6 holes. Then put some 8mm holes approximately in the plate. Set up the tilting head so I could hold it in the vice running true to the run of the mill table. Attached the adaptor plate to the bottom of the rotary table. Milled around the outside just to make the sides parallel . Then used the same milling cutter to cut the holes for the mounting T bolts at 80mm centres to suite my Table. I used an 11mm end mill and have 10mm T bolts. Now I can indicate any of the 4 side and the run of the tilting table will be correct.
The picture shows the cutter above the last hole to be opened up.
Yes I have removable ply wood sides to try and keep the junk contained on the mill.
They really do sling chips and stuff everywhere.
