Get it solved?
No , and Yes.
I thought a bit outside of the box and made an adjustable jig that I can adjust the slot for each individually station to the framing of the laser.
I still cant wrap my head around why it didnāt work with cutting the slots with metal foil, still doesnāt make sense to me.
Something going on.
I was looking for a 20" round 1/4" thick piece of aluminum so I can complete my table but all I can find is either 1/8" or square pieces. Just going to cut out of wood on the bandsaw so weāll see how mine works next week or so.
The machinist in me wants to suggest you chuck a drill bit or similar ground-true shaft in the rotary and stick a dial indicator on it to check the runout of the system. Any runout will be increased by the distance from the center of the chuck.

Second the indicator.
Silly questionā¦ why are you rotating the blanks? You might have answered this somewhere else that I didnāt see. Iām a big believer in keeping it as simple as possible. Would you get the same offset issue if you just laid them out in a grid pattern, frame them & go?

Iāve been doing them 1 at a time for a while now, Itās simple, it works, its consistent.
But,
If iāve got a order for 50-100+ brass coins, its much easier to load up the rotary table, hit go and have it do its thing for the next number of hours instead of having to pop in to change out the work piece every X amount of minutes.
- i prefer to use a 70 mm lens, so typically you only get 1 coin blank under the lens at a time
- automation is cool.
