Thanks Allison, much appreciated as always. Ohh I have much more planned… but little time to do it 😂. More to come don’t you worry. All the best, Matt 👍
Thank you for your kind comments, its really appreciated. Yes I think if something is worth saving it should be saved, hate the throw away culture of todays society. All The best, Matt 👍
Thanks Mark, much appreciated. Yes I agree, if something can be saved, it's worth saving. I hate the throw away culture the world has turned into. All the best, Matt 👍
Thanks for watching Craig, if they are the stops I think your on about, they should be their but they have been removed before I bought it, its on the agenda to make or buy and replace. All the best, Matt 👍
Eureka moment ‼️ Matt, all those beautiful machined handles… of course… silly me… it was built in the middle of the twentieth century eh? Quality endures. Restoration was nicely done, in what I’d call a ‘vintage-respectful’ manner 🤣🤣🤣 Love ya work mate Regards Robert
Another informative "Chivers" video. Nice one Matt. The offer to regrind any mill tools still holds. Sad to see that the "South Western cardboard box" no longer resides on the shelf behind the right hand side of the mill...
G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 Matt, you have done a terrific job on restoring that rotary table and a great size. I only found out about your channel not that long ago, I have a 8”” rotary table and it has a broken shaft in it which I would like to restore as well. I have enjoyed watching you bring this back to the living. I have subscribed regards John😊
Hi John, thank you for the subscription and your kind comments are very much appreciated. The rotary table has turned out great, I’m really pleased how it operates. It was very enjoyable to project to undertake. That will be an interesting exercise make or even repairing the shaft. Thanks again, All the best, Matt 👍
Exactly oldog! The world is a throw away culture now, and people are obsessed with buying/acquiring new inferior models!! Nothing wrong with the old! All the best, Matt 👍
Thanks Paul, Ive been nipping in and spinning the handle and I think its definitely getting looser on the minor stiff spot I had. Can't wait for a job to turn up so I can use it. All the best, Matt 👍
Hi Timothy, not a bad idea, I shall keep that in mind if it doesn't free up. The eccentric now comes out without taking the table off so that would make it easier. All that best, Matt 👍
I have a small rotary table about this same size. On mine, the worm and gear sit in an oil bath. Not a lot, just enough to cover the bottom 1/3 of the worm.
Yes this definitely has a dip where the worm is, and I pumped a lot of oil in, which I forgot to film, need to swap the zerks on it as they aren't great. So the worm should 🤞🏼 be in a bath of oil. All the best, Matt 👍
Excellent Project with lots of background infomation
The last second made me jump 🤯🤣🤣🤣
Well..... I hope it made you laugh though. 😂. All the best, Matt 👍
Great videos. Very nice work sir. You can be proud at saving this rotary table.
Loved the turntable series, never seen inside one before. Also enjoyed all your pervious videos, keep them coming.
Thanks Allison, much appreciated as always. Ohh I have much more planned… but little time to do it 😂. More to come don’t you worry. All the best, Matt 👍
That looks like a fantastic addition to the workshop! Nicely done! Cheers, Ian
Thanks Ian, yes it’s a great addition and it’s turned out great. Just need some projects to make on it. All the best, Matt 👍
Great to see good old iron being saved, nice job, nice videos!
Thank you for your kind comments, its really appreciated. Yes I think if something is worth saving it should be saved, hate the throw away culture of todays society. All The best, Matt 👍
A very enjoyable series. I do like seeing quality tools rescued rather than binned!
Thanks Mark, much appreciated. Yes I agree, if something can be saved, it's worth saving. I hate the throw away culture the world has turned into. All the best, Matt 👍
What a lovely bit of kit 😀 great restoration
Thanks Julia, Much appreciated as always. Yes it's turned out really well, I'm very pleased with it. Next project.... All the best, Matt 👍
That turned out quite nice. Nice work.
Thanks Jeff. All the best, Matt
Thanks for sharing 👍 You know there is stops on your mill to help you with those repetitive cuts.
Thanks for watching Craig, if they are the stops I think your on about, they should be their but they have been removed before I bought it, its on the agenda to make or buy and replace. All the best, Matt 👍

Thanks Grum, Much appreciated. Thanks for the offer. I'm not sure the box has gone... just out of shot 😂. All the best, Matt 👍
Good job. 👍
Thanks All, Much appreciated as always. All the best, Matt 👍
A great result.
Thanks Zoltan, much appreciated. All the best, Matt 👍

nothing wrong with being over 60 years old, like a good wine somethings improve with age.

Superb effort Matt. Working like new, a very useful addition to the tool stores.
Thanks Paul, Ive been nipping in and spinning the handle and I think its definitely getting looser on the minor stiff spot I had. Can't wait for a job to turn up so I can use it. All the best, Matt 👍
i would use a little lapping compound on that shaft. NICE JOB TOO
Hi Timothy, not a bad idea, I shall keep that in mind if it doesn't free up. The eccentric now comes out without taking the table off so that would make it easier. All that best, Matt 👍
Excellent mini series, really enjoyed following along.
Thanks Rick, really appreciate that. I've really enjoyed rebuilding it, just need a project to turn up so I can use it. All the best, Matt 👍
