15" rotary table

[Mud]

Excellent condition, near new except for the shop worn paint from being under my workbench for decades . Not sure of the manufacturer, I bought it from Enco in 1979 but all the fasteners are Imperial, not metric, the T slots are 5/8". Includes angle mount and tailstock, both never used. Almost zero backlash, turns smoothly. $750 Located in PA 17602

I had that exact table. Finally had to scrap it when the main table bearing became unobtainium. I mean no one makes that bearing or anything close enough to it to fit.......... even with modifying the housing and/or boss.

I feel like you would have to use the shit out of a rotary table for the bearing to go out...no?

Not if it gets full of water soluble coolant…

What kind of bearing is it? Roller? Taper? Ball? And what made it fail?
This one should still be good, it's had about 10 hours of light use on a wells-Index mill in it's lifetime.
I had an old Haas rotary table that had no bearing, it was steel against iron on a taper, I figured this would be the same.

Sorta hazy about the bearing now. Been 30+ years since it went away.

I think it was a barrel roller bearing. Had a jillion hours on it. Enough wear in the bearing to let the table move off center by about .015". Last straw was fucked up hole locations in a mold.
