I recently got this rotary table. It’s a Universal Vise & Tool Company 12” table. When I bought it the guy told me it’s been sitting for years and years and the table spins but it’s pretty tight. I would like to take it apart and clean everything to get it moving a little better. It’s usable as it is but it definitely could be better. There is only one cap screw (circled in blue) on the worm/hand wheel. I was thinking I could lock the table take out the cap screw and thread it out of the worm but that didn’t work. The bottom has 4 slotted screws holding in a gasket and then there’s a spanner nut that I got off to reveal a giant timken bearing but I can’t figure out how to get the worm out. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
