Need an Enco rotary table manual

[Carld]

A few years ago I bought an Enco rotary table labeled LS-10 manufactured in 1982. I would like to have a manual for it. Does anyone have the LS-10 table, 10" diameter, and do you still have the manual for it? If so I would like to have a copy of it please.

Maybe a photo will help.

Carld,
I think I have that same table, but I don't have a manual either. If you find one, give me a shout so I can also. BTW, I have a set of plates for dividing but don't have the crank or stop to do it with, nor do I know how to work dividing if I did.

Yours looks smaller but has the same handle and levers. I have several emails to Taiwan manufacturers and am waiting for replies. Enco had nothing about it. I took it apart several years ago when I bought it and I should have written down all the details. I got it cheap at an auction because the gears were not adjusted and everyone thought it was trashed. It's really a very good table but it seems to get heavier every time I use it . I got a smaller vise because the bigger one seemed to get heavier every day. Maybe I'm just getting weaker .

I may have to tear it down again and record the details and how to adjust it. I only use it about once a year so it's hard to remember all the details about everything I have .

This will be a bit convoluted but...that Enco table looks very much like an "Advance" table (there is one for sale here, w an X-Y slide on top but still...) anyway, there is some discussion here
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb...-table-193601/

the gist being it is very similar in design to a Troyke but according to the thread on PM, that can be hard to find as well...there is some discussion of adjustments within the thread AND that thread is a couple of years old, so maybe there is now a source for a Tryoke manual

Edit: from what I can see of the label, "Advance" was made near Detroit, so...

What's the purpose of the lever between the handwheel and body?

My neighbor made this same comment last fall, we are both members of the over 70 club. My alternative is to put a hoist by the mill and lathe.

Thats to disengage the worm so you can move the table by hand.
On my table its done by disengaging a lock on the worm eccentric, and then engaging a lock to the main handle.

Its also how you compensate for wear in the worm, there is often a set screw that sets the worm/gear engagement by limiting the movement of that eccentric.
