Small Rotary Table
Ref: HK 1180
Designed by Mr. G.H. Thomas and described in the M.E. March 1976. Drawings and instructions are provided in Mr Thomas’ book The Model Engineers Workshop Manual.
Most model engineers only require a Rotary Table to quickly and efficiently round the ends of coupling rods and similar components. Worm gearing is not required, being too slow in operation. Positive stops are, however, vital to prevent the cutter exceeding its intended limits. Consequently, this design offers a small compact Rotary Table of 3 3/4" diameter, having substantial bearings. Positive stops are provided to limit angular movement. The dimensions of the cast iron base enable easy mounting onto the lathe vertical-slide.
Our kit includes the base casting, close grained extruded iron for the table, nut and pivot and all fasteners.

Geared Rotary Table - 4"
Ref: HK 1190
Designed by Mr. E. Riley. In response to many requests we are now able to offer a Rotary Table of the same basic dimensions as the Thomas design but with the inclusion of a worm gear.
The iron base measures 4" x 4", a good match for any popular vertical slide. The worm assembly is retained in the base by a single pad bolt, thus the 4" diameter table can be readily taken out of gear when hand operation is desired. Designed with easy construction in mind, the Geared Rotary Table is equally at home on a lathe or a milling machine. The photograph shows the geared Rotary Table with the worm box removed and a 'Tommy Bar' fitted for hand operation.
Our kit includes iron for the table and base, gear, worm, fasteners, drawings and instructions. This kit has been recently redrafted from a solid model and includes a number of isometric views to simplify comprehension.
