Oil reservoir on Rotary table (Ro-tab)?
Oil reservoir on Rotary table (Ro-tab)?
When I cleaned up 6" rotary-table, I saw a sticker that said, oil plug. Another sticker says fill with oil be for using. Then what looks like a clear site gauge. I never expected that. Does it really need oil for turning the plate around?

They usually use an oil bath for the worm gear inside rotary tables, at least the larger ones I have seen. So yeah, they will have a fill plug and either a sight or level indicator on the fill plug.

Don't be amazed if it slowly leaks out.
