I've used my Rutland 12" rotary table off and on for a dozen years and its worked perfectly. The table is always kept safe and dry.
Yesterday, when first set up, I noticed almost two degrees of back-lash.
After turning three of eight holes, it felt like the worm merely fell away from the gear; the handle spun freely and I could turn the table by hand.
I took my set-up apart, removed the table from the base and everything looks OK. I can't move the worm along it's shaft, the worm appears fixed to the handle movement and the worm seems to line up with the big center gear.
Is there some sort of exploded diagram showing how this thing is assembled so I can trace the problem further?
