Rotary Table Rebuild Part 3 - Workshop Chronicles EP 006
In this final episode of the rotary table rebuild we finish up the modifications using the Bridgeport milling machine and then put all the parts we clean in the previous episodes back together. Once a rusty stiff rotary table is now returned to its former glory. I've enjoyed restoring this engineering tool, hope you have too, see you in the next one, Laters.

In this episode of the steam engine build I make the studs to get the main components of the cylinders bolted together. Using the Harrison lathe I machine some studs then using the Bridgeport I then put the steam inlet port in the valve chest.

  • @melgross
    @melgross 14 днів тому

    Don’t use a bare wrench on those surfaces. Normally, there is a set screw that gives an adjustable limit to the tightness of the worm and the gear for proper backlash. Loosening the lock lever allows you to rotate the worm entirely away from the gear to free turn the table. I see someone mentioned that. There is usually a set screw to the right of the shaft, on the right side of the casting to hold the entire assembly in the bite which sits in a groove in the worm housing. Sometimes it at the bottom. Without removing that you can’t get the assembly out. That may have been the screw you removed from the bottom. From here it’s hard to tell. Never grease a rotary table. After a short time it will lock up. I’m not sure how you rate oils there, but usually a medium hydraulic oil is used.

When I started it, it was just a rusty rotary table, now I have lots of information on how it actually works (it’s completely different to my large rotary table), how to set it correctly and also some history information on its former life and possible age. Which is all fantastic, everyday is a school day and there is always something to learn. All the best, Matt 👍

    The Ministry of Supply was closed down in 1959, so they won't be after you. Whilst that rotary Table was HM Gov. property, it would have been assigned to some government or military machine shop- base, airfield or onboard ship. With the vast reduction in the MOD establishment, it was likely sold off quite legitimately in the 70's or 80's.
