Hey fellas, sooooo while trying to get my Delta Rockwell 11x36 restored, i went and bought myself a milling machine. I also ordered a rotary table with it, and of course i had to tear it completely down, clean it and greased the worm. It came pretty dirty. See the problem is to get the table off, on the back there are 4 socket head screws and 4 set screws that came out, and now i can not get the table to turn smooth after putting the screws back in. Either its to loose, or i barely turn the screws then its so tight i cant even move it. It turned smooth from factory so i know its something i am doing wrong. Is there some way to "tune" these screws so it will run smooth. Or is there a certain order or way to do this? I also get tight spots and loose spots when i run the handle. Any help would greatly be appreciated. My manual says nothing about how to put these screws back together properly, but it does say your suppose to completely disassemble it and clean it, lol. Figures right.
