But eventually, you’ll have built all the basic stuff. What then? Well, as [Workshop From Scratch] shows in a recent video, you can start working on the luxuries. Do you need a motorized table that will let you spin the workpiece and position it an at arbitrary angle? No, probably not. But as the video after the break shows, it’s certainly a handy thing to have around the shop. We especially like how he uses it to quickly and easily produce nearly perfect circular welds.

Much like his hydraulic lifting table or motorized plasma cutter, not everyone is going to need something this elaborate in their home shop. But his magnetic vise and mobile drill press cart are far more approachable for the home gamer. Of course even if you don’t follow along and build your own versions of his tools, it’s always worth tuning in just to see him work.

Well I have decided I need a rotary table of some sort for my mill, but at present I"m not inclined to hand over the sort of money that seems to be necessary to acquire a new one (and second hand ones seem next to impossible to find over here).

So the plan is to build something resembling a basic rotary table from the materials I have at hand (i.e. little additional cost) as an initial tool to get me going. To this end the attached is what I have come up with as a starting concept (to be refined as the build goes along).

- Spindle will have a MT2 taper through the centre to use accessories (such as a drill chuck) with the table detached (I don"t want the taper hole to go right through the table as that could interfere with mounting small work pieces on centre

- One end of the channel will need to be closed with a piece of plate to allow it to be used vertically (the distance between the channel sides is just such that one will always seem to fall into a slot on the mill table if left open)

Whether your CNC control has AC or DC drives, uses Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Yaskawa, Glentek, Siemens, Baldor, etc. we can build your rotary table with a compatible motor for just about any 4th axis-ready machine on the market! If you need help getting a machine 4th axis ready, we also supply the parts you need; such as amplifiers, drives, cables and connectors. If your application does not require simultaneous 4th axis cutting, we offer an easy-to-program, single-axis control box that can be M-function interfaced to your CNC machine. The control box can either be programmed directly or fed data via RS-232 for fast, accurate indexing to any angle.
