Replacing lifting handle on a Bridgeport rotary table?

gi_984 · Aug 15, 2020

I have a 12 inch Bridgeport rotary table in excellent condition except for the left lifting handle. It got bumped and lost a piece of the casting that retains the 1/2 inch steel bar. So now I'm faced with an ugly brazing job to fix or replace the entire handle.

My preference is to replace it. I placed a wanted advertisement down in the tooling & accessories sub-forum.

Do the lifting handles on the 12 and 15 inch rotary tables interchange?

Thanks

We have a 12” at work and I have a 15” at home. Looks like they are the same.

I use a 1” x 1” x 17” long CRS bar with 1/2” holes on each end for bolting to the table. There is a drilled/tapped hole in the center for a eyelet lifting hook. I use an engine hoist to move the rotary as I can’t lift it myself.

Thanks for the confirmation. I haven't examined a 12 and 15 inch side by side. I thought they looked to be the same.
