Not A-gang. The destroyer had separate engineering spaces, main control where the engine was, and aux 1 where I was with the SSTGs.

That’s a 20” rotary with a 24” part on it. The part is 1/2 of a center section for articulated piece of equipment, like a front bucket end loader.

Thanks guys, I just needed to be reminded of how many deck plates I polished with a wire brush and lemon juice in the boiler room...It's called "keep 'em busy doing something" chipping paint was the next best thing.....aaargh

How about a "rotary table" sub section here in the machine shop forum??
I really need to learn how to utilize this piece of equipment.

Nice score Dave. Hope you got the special rust discount price!

Can you take picture of the data plate?

Just started milling and slowly tooling up as going along.

Here's a video link to the exact same table that I have.
Should answer a bunch of my yet to discover questions.
Also found a link to the Phase II manuals and downloaded a copy for the shop.

We have bins of those Tee nuts for use on our presses-in the uncontrolled hardware section which means I can go grab a handful whenever I am in the shop.

Thanks Dave for the link. Not ready for rotary yet. Looking at ER collets and precision drill chuck for my G1004 style knee mill.

I use a orbital sander with 400 grit paper on my table saw, planer, lathe, jointer and band saw. Then a coat of paste wax. It really helps the planer feed when you make the bed slippery...
