I use a rotary table for cutting parts for my aircraft Yamaha aircraft engine conversion business far more often than a vise or fastening directly to the table. I really do need a lathe, but I don't have room for one, I've outgrown the space I'm in long ago as it is.
A work piece centering cone with, say, a 1/2" or 3/8" shank to fit into a mill collet would be SOOOO useful! I woudl even buy an expensive R8 centering cone if there was one out there.
For years I have been making do with a 60° chamfering tool, but that really isn't very good for this, I've actually done some slight damage to the tool using it with steel pieces, and it isn't nearly wide enough for larger parts.
This seems like the stupidest, simplest thing in the world to me, and yes if I had a lathe I would knock out several in no time at all.
Why can't I just buy one off the shelf for $20??!?! Jeez. Anyone feel like making me one out of 1018? 1/2" shank, 1-1/2" major dia. & 60° cone.
