Hello,
Could someone please identify my rotary table.
It does not have a name stamped on it, perhaps it came with a milling machine.
I can only describe it.
What I know is it came from the then "West Germany"
It was owned by an instrument maker.
The only stamping is the number 618 shown in the photo.
I believe it is old but don’t know how old.
The black round handle and crank handle are black bakalite.
The table is 280 mm in diameter. with 4 x 4 slots 14 mm.
The wheel and pinion are hardened and ground and sit in an oil bath, the level of which is indicated by a glass tube sight glass.
All screws are machine cut, as are all the screw slots (Milled).
The filler cap screw has a tiny air hole and is a beautiful piece of engineering.
A number 3 Morse (I think) taper in the center.
The graduations are cut and numbers stamped.
The dial on the winder is in three sections of 0 to 100.
The ratio of the table is 120 : 1
Small parts Nickel plated
Words on the bakelite handle are "NICAFIL 1761/1" very small about 1 mm high.
