    Hey guys, I'm looking at building a rotary welding table, the mig gun will be mounted in one place while the workpiece is spinning.

    My question is, is there a way to have a stepper motor controlled by a dial so I am able to speed the rotation and also slow it down?

    Possibly a silly question but would I need to still use the driver?

    Any info on exactly what I need would be very much appreciated or some sort of schematic

    Cheers

    Easy with the right stepper driver.

    Cheers pal, I have drivers just wasn't sure how to go about it.

    So do I just get one of those and a dial to control the speed?

    you just attach a pot to them. to change the speed, very simple.

    Oh right, awesome!! So all I need to do is find a decent pot, hook it up to a power supply and crack on?

    If you have drive then one of these will work for you.

    If you have one of these, you don't need a power supply, driver or pulse generator. It is all in the box. Just add stepper and a couple of switches.

    BTW these are probably only available at a CNC museum.

    yesterday was welding a couple of things and i thought " it would be great if somebody rotated slowly the pieces." Now you give me ideas.

    Did not know these were available at this price, looks good but how the hell do they make it and send it free for that amount?

    Rotary table is on me TODO list as well :) For weldingtable I would use something like a car windshield wiper motor. Hooked with simple DC motor controller...
    Man... I really need to leave the wife and quit the job - then maybe I can finish something!
