OT: Bombarded by Viagra, Cialis commercials every hour of every day. Have you noticed?
I was just thinking to myself: what'cha been googling, ron...? :D -
What is the most positionally rigid 12 inch manual rotary table?
Yeah, mine is 300 pounds. -
What is the most positionally rigid 12 inch manual rotary table?
That's how my Advance is. The worm can be dropped out so the table freely rotates, then it can be popped back in wherever you want that it is aligned (every 3° are obtainable as a drop in). The drop out mechanism has an adjustable stop so that the worm is returned to the same center distance... -

I would have said this myself, but was thinking he wanted infinite indexability. If set divisions are good enough, Super Spacers are very good indeed. -
Re-grinding G&L saddle support rails - Advice
Not a real complex job, just need to find somewhere with a big enough grinder. We had a set done for a 120" X travel machine I installed around 1999, but I don't remember where.- eKretz

I read somewhere that the air line is used for the index only table. The table is an air lift. Possibly a toothed indexer.- eKretz

Anybody got any idea why someone would put shims here? Found these today when I flipped the vertical head up for the first time to have a look at the horizontal spindle. I saw in the manual where they want that top part slid to where it's perfectly aligned with the lower section before clamping...- eKretz

New battery in the console connected to the memory board seems to have everything up to snuff finally. The machine is booting up the console properly now every time it's turned on. I used Ross's approach and soldered in a plugged wire harness to the board so I can remove and charge the battery...- eKretz

The Advance tables are pretty rock solid. I'm sure most of the old good brand name tables are the same. Usually anything with a worm drive won't do much moving even with the brake/clamp off... -

Got the wheels on the control cabinet and got it nestled in with the cabinet and up and running decent. I replaced the under console battery, and let the RPC idle all day yesterday with the cabinet powered up, hoping it would charge the second battery in the console, but doesn't look like it has...- eKretz

So I've been talking to Ross and Rich a little about a voltage issue I was having. The machine would come on and the control would sometimes power up, sometimes not. I could get it to work if I did the K10 jumper X120 connector reset, and the table feeds and jog, etc. would work, but the spindle...- eKretz
