Convert Grizzly H5685 to CNC?

All,

I've obtained a Grizzly H5685 4-inch rotary table as part of a purchase. The previous owner had obtained a Nema 23 motor for this, but no hookup hardware was provided for connecting these two parts together. Has anyone else had any luck doing this?

Thanks,

The Eternal Squire

Mostly, you get a pair of toothed sprockets and a timing belt from McMaster-Carr, Stock Drive Products, or similar outfit. They have calculators so you can figure out the belt length required from the approximate center-to-center distance and the pulley sizes. You probably need to bore out the pulleys on a lathe to fit the shafts. The rotary table pulley may need a key slot put in it. You can put the pulley where the degree dial goes, or in place of the hand crank.
