Crazy setup for a part I had to make

[oxford]

Sears Craftsman sold a Palmgren rotary table with
the X-Y slide on the bottom of the table, under the
rotary axis. Totally useless. If someone can tell me
what was the reason, I am all ears.

When I see rotarys pop up for sale with the XY on it they are almost always this style.

Unless they are Advance, Troyke, Yuasa, etc.
I don't think anyone other than Palmgren makes
these dorky things.

Nice work. Did you mill a flat for starting the drill bit? I hate having to angle the turret like that.

Nah, I just used a spot drill. I went a bit deep with it though and it left a divot on one side of the hole. You can see that at the end of my video.
