picked up a rotary table this weekend. 8", It came with a tail stock and dividing plate (2) attachment. It looks good, but it's the first rotary table I have ever touched. It's 90:1, and was easy to figure out how to engage/disengage the worm gear (right turn or left of the ring behind the vernier). But I would like to know more about it and the dividing plates. Have done a bunch of searches and can't find a owners manual for it or something similar (looks similar to Phase II). Any one have a PDFs copy or link?
The only issue I see is it turns easy, but when I try to rotate by hand it's very stiff, like the oil has hardened. Was thinking of running kerosene down the oil spout, sloshing around and poring out 10 times, then spindle oil in the spout. Other ideas? The previous owner said it has been sitting in a box for the last 13 years (bought at Enco ~18 years ago, used for 1 project). I would take it apart and clean, but would like a simpler solution, and I don't have the manual .
The bividing plate box says Yantai, and the RT says TI3200B. I can find little about Yantai and nothing about that model number.
