This is an introductory video to basic operations that can be performed with a rotary table. The rotary table is an important accessory for all home shop owners who wish to increase their milling machines capabilities. more specifically, this video looks at how to produce a disc on a milling machine, how to cut an accurate angle using a rotary table and how to accurately radius the corners of a part. As for all THATLAZYMACHINIST videos, this video is produced for novice , garage or beginner machinists. You can find all my videos as well as project drawings and course notes on my website THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM . Thanks for understanding that I am a professional toolmaker and teacher but I am not a professional video producer (and it shows). I produce these videos for fun as a little retirement project that lets me give back a little of what was passed on to me by so many amazing trades people most of whom, sadly, are no longer with us.
