    DIVIDING PLATE ..DIY ..Help...!!

    Build a Arduino Index head. Just tell it how many holes you want and push a button. If you search on this forum, you will find out how to build one. If you use the correct sketch code it will be very accurate. Arduino Rotary Table for Dummies

    Just one very large AutoCad file. No dimensions or notes. Drawn to scale. Most everything is CNC programmed from my master drawing file.

    I tried a pc. of White Oak. It actually worked pretty good, but the driver lugs stripped out of the ends of the log & started to slip. Softwoods work the best. The blade is razor sharp.

    1/4 Scale 1895 St. Joseph Iron Works veneer lathe

    So, everyone asks me that question. My answer has been "I roll up the veneer and burn it in my firebox so I can make more veneer!" LOL! Actually I discovered that the 3" cores make great rolling pins.

    I will post a video once I get time to fire up the Steam Engine and make some veneer. I have change gears on the feed drive so I can make veneer from .057" - .085" thickness. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HMiXF3wZcqtnLEVk6 This video was taken early on just to see if it would work! The log was...

    It all started last fall when I saw this old veneer lathe at LeSeur Pioneer Power show in Southern Minnesota. I wanted to add another implement for my 1/3rd Scale Case Steam Engine to demonstrate at Antique Tractor shows.

    Arduino Rotary Table for Dummies

    I have been offline for quite a while. After all of the discussions here, the only sketch that makes perfect divisions in a complete circle is the one that Timo claims he "butchered". I made a few modifications to the menu screen to suit my indexing head and I have made several perfect gears...
