Small Welding Turn Table

[blueflame75]

Hey Gang,

A newbie to the forum just buzzing in with a question.
I have been out of the welding scene for a few years due to a career change but want to get back into it, I miss it. My background is in CNC, welding metal fabrication but changed careers in electronics in the late 90's.

Anyway. The little cnc/weld shop I worked for way back when had a little motorized adjustable speed turn style table that was magnetic and had "T"slots to clamp your work down on, about 10 or 12" in diameter.

Does anyone know where i could locate one, used or new?
Thanks
blueflame

Perhaps a dividing head could be modified to your requirements

Or if on a really tight budget you could buy a "lazy susan" and attach some brackets for clamping.
