FIGURE 21-SHERLINE's 4" Rotary Table
4" ROTARY TABLE (P/N 3700)
The rotary table mounts to the mill table and provides a rotary axis for milling. Each
increment on the handwheel represents 1/10° of rotation, so a circle can be divided into
3600 segments without interpolation. 72 handwheel revolutions rotate the table one time.
It can be used to mill a radius on a part, cut a circular slot or drill precision circular hole
patterns. Used with the right angle attachment (P/N 3701) and right angle tailstock (P/N
3702) it can also be used to cut gear teeth. A rotary table used with a mill allows a
machinist to produce virtually any part he can design. The only limits are size, not
complexity. The compact size of this high quality rotary table also make it a good choice
for use on larger machines where its size would offer an advantage in working with small
parts.
