Turntable With Track System

[Big Barn]

I got this turntable from a sandblast outfit today. Should make a good portable fixture table for welding and yet to be determined tasks.

The table is 1/4” steel 30” diameter with 1/4” holes for securing fixtures. Sealed bearings on the table axle as well as the four rollers. It weighs 90 pounds and has a 750 pound rated capacity. I also have 3 sections of track for it.

The turntable itself is only five inches high and will sit flat on a welding table or any flat surface as well as on the tracks.

I will most likely make a dedicated stand for it with provision to clip on track extensions. This would allow me to use the turntable at any height with the aid of a forklift or my high lift pallet jack. Or it could be placed on the welding table with or without track. Lots of possibilities!

Does it have a provision to attach your ground lead to the base of the rotating table? Or do you have to attach it to the piece itself?

Awesome turntable!
BTW, What kind of table surface is it sitting on? Looks like it might be polished stone, maybe granite?

No provision, Aaron. It was designed to be a turntable for sandblasting and as such doesn’t have the rotating ground source a proper welding rotator would have.

Very cool... a luxury welding or blasting accessory for sure! I like it. Curious as to the benefits of the linear track though?

Mark it was most likely for loading heavy items with a forklift onto the table and then sliding it deeper into the cabinet to blast.

Ah yes... loading into a cabinet. Of course.

Always wanted one of those. Nice..

Here’s the bench I built to use the turntable for small weld/fabrication projects.







The rectangular work surface can be offset or removed to allow more linear travel for the turntable.
