Anyone know where to get a 3d model of one of these things?  It's mostly for visual aid for setup sheets so not looking for something spectacular.

Have you checked the manufacturers or sellers website? Some have downloadable models.

I'm not even sure who makes these things anymore.  The table that we have is an old Westinghouse.  This thing is probably older than I am.  

I've been able to find some old drawings for some of these tables but they are very vague.

I looked on GrabCad, but they don't appear to have anything on there.

OIC... yeah if it's that old then I'd say your best option is to draw one up. Unless of course you get lucky and find a model that's close enough on a model sharing site. But it may just be quicker and easier to draw one up.

Or stay lazy and hand the indexer off to the QC guy and have him plot it out on the CMM  :thumbsup:

Yes, I'm going to have to get off of my lazy butt and draw it up.  :D  

We have a few models of different chucks so the hard part is done.

You guys have a CMM?  I'm so jelly.  We have to inspect bone plates with calipers and a tool scope.

So you're basically working in conceptual all the time?

Nope, just faking it.

If you have an IPhone, I heard they have can do mean 3D scanning with the camera,
Haven't tried it myself.

I spent half a lifetime running one of these back in my manual machinist days
I didn't have any luck finding a model though
