Rotary table backlash and gear making
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2014 7:59 am
I successfully used a cheap timing belt driven RT to make a 17 tooth gear.It has zero backlash.
Today I was playing with my much larger 6" Phase 2 RT that is belt driven through a 90/1 worm drive. As hard as I tried to adjust the phase 2 backlash it would either bind or have some rotational backlash. Not much but I can see that any play would cause a gear tooth to be miss shaped. How are you guys eliminating the backlash on those wpork drive type RT?
