Basic Controls

use

figure 7 and the following descriptions to

become familiar with the basic controls of your
rotary table.

A. Handwheel: rotates the table when the

gears are engaged.

B. Handwheel Scale: displays the amount of

table rotation with a resolution of 1' (1 arc
minute), and also has 1° marks. one full turn
of the handwheel rotates the table 4°.

C. Backlash Adjustment Ring: Allows adjust-

ment of the backlash between the gears.
Also, disengages the gears so that the table
can be rotated by hand. loosen the back-
lash adjustment lock, then rotate the ring
clockwise until the worm gears disengage.
reverse the process to re-engage them.

D. Table Lock: When fully tightened, keeps the

table from rotating to reduce the strain on the
gears during operation. When cutting circular
slots, a slight drag can be applied with the
table locks to help reduce chatter caused by
gear backlash.
