twin tub rotary table
Hi
Been trawling through old issues of MEW magazine
A guy in the UK has made a neat rotary table , using the drive mechanism from his defunct twin tub washing machine . The twin tub drive consists of a worm and worm gear in a cast housing . He chopped off the unwanted section and machined the casting flat, then mounted the casting on a steel plate , he then machined up the table .. works a treat he writes . The cost ..almost NIL
I cannot post pics as the magazine has copywrite laws etc.

Yep was a nice job. I built mine about the same time and it is working well. Cost me about $15 for the bits I didn't have. I then went on to make the Harold Hall dividing head and finally used it this week only to find out its out of whack. upside is I now have another job to do Originally Posted by morrisman

There's a seven gig torrent of the publication in question (50 odd meg per issue), if you can't find it any other way....
