The ones with York on them are the best & i get them at carboot sales/flee markets very cheap & the bar is good steel to turn down. Few tips, use a brazed on carbide tool with a good rad on it upside down with chuck running in reverse and use a vacuum cleaner under the tool to colect swarf, the faces don't clean up leave a witness or you will loose the width.

Thanks for your comment and the tips! I've still got 5 more weights, 3 are smaller so I'll get to try out your tips. Cheers.
Nice job. I used some .625 plate for mine. I also made a dead center for it. Make chips that dont need dips!
lol! Thanks for your comment btw.
Nice work. I like your rotary table. Another thing I need to get still
Thanks
Great Idea, I did the same thing on a 300mm rotary table, just be mindful of the hole in the center of your table is most likely tapered for a center if you are going to use it to locate your adapter plate The Problem with that being if you want to use it on longer through shafts that need to go through the center hole, I used 19mm plate and spigoted it to the table Outside diameter then used cap screws to hold it down, the adapter was spigoted with countersunk caps crews to a 250mm 3jaw chuck I was Luckey enough the adapter also fit a 6 jaw self centering and my 4jaw independent chuck. Depending on how accurate your needs are most 3jaw chucks have runout tolerances the cheaper the chuck the worse the runout throughout the entire holding range of the chuck Just because it's ok at 25mm dose not mean it's fine at 50 mm so use your dial indicator. You may even be able to get a small collet Chuck to suit the tapered center hole of the rotary table to Hold your smaller work accurately.
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your knowledge. My table has a MT3 and I turned down a MT3 on a steel round that's long enough to reach the jaws on a 3 jaw chuck, my idea was to tighten the jaws on the shaft before I tighten the bolts down on the table. hopefully this will get my chuck centred to the rotary table fairly accurately. I'll try this soon and see how it works out.
I purchased an 8 inch diameter gray cast disk 3/4" thick from McMaster-Carr for $37 USD to do mine. I purchased an independent 4 jaw chuck to allow me to dial in oddly shaped parts. I like your idea of using York weights. It never occurred to me that I could do that. I will use your idea if I can afford to add a 3 jaw scroll chuck to the rotary table in the future. Great video and great job on the project! You earned my subscription!
Thanks mate, that’s great you got something good out of the video, it makes doing them worth it. Hope your rotary projects go well and thanks for subscribing!
Speak up,jeez.
Sorry mate, I'll try to improve that in the future but thanks for your feedback.
