For those wondering about rotary tables and what are they like inside,
here are some pictures of my disassembly. I mostly took them to remind
me how to reassemble it back, but I am hoping that maybe someone find
something of interest in them.

I took apart a Troyke rotary table last night..to see why it wont turn.

A portion of the casting that is used to push the worm gear into the
gear path is sheared off.

Now Ive got to figure out how to drill, pin and then weld it.

Really lumpy cast iron.

Damnit


"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with
minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing
clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do---
his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him.
The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies.
He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"

Someone forgot to remove the table lock and turned the handle too hard?

Now Ive got to figure out how to drill, pin and then weld it.

Really lumpy cast iron.

I would make a steel part with the hole bored exactly to size of the
sleeve that holds the shaft, such that when put on the sleeve, it
would not reach the bottom by 1-2 mm. Once put in place. then I would
weld it, paying attention to avoiding too much warpage. The stresses
are not huge unless you abuse the table, and there is almost no risk
of any injury.
