Hi folk
I'm looking for some advice about repairing a Rotary Table.
I'm potentially looking to purchase a really nice Swiss 12" rotary table that has a broken corner (See picture) ... andI don't have the broken lug!
I admit to know nothing about welding charistics but I'm wondering if a new piece of Cast Iron can be welded or braised on the corner so I can machine it back into something like its original profile. On the outset it looks simple - "weld a bit on and then machine", BUT is it really that SIMPLE?
Swiss 12" Quality Rotary Table
There are a lot of Rotary Tables out there but this one really appeals "IF" I can get it back to near it's original state.
All comments and thoughts sincerely welcomed.
