Table
Table is a device on which the part is being mounted. The table can be of Fixed or Rotary type. Powered tables under control of CNC-machines are available, and provide a fourth axis (or more) to CNC milling machines. Rotary tables are manufactured with a solid base that has provision for clamping onto another table or fixture. The actual table is a precision-machined disc to which the workpiece is clamped.
