What's not on the plan is the half bath on the ground floor.

That's what bushes and rock gardens are for.....
David, is the half bath going under the stairs?
No, there's not enough height.
It will go at the bottom of the stairs where the round thing is (hot water tank)
Where did you get those David?
That does seem kind of big but maybe there are other offerings. Most I've seen for smaller tables & dividing heads seem about 3/4 the diameter of RT? But maybe that's because they have different A,B,D plates with different hole layouts?

Dividing Head INDEXING Plates for HV8 /10/12/ 14 Rotary Table - MILLING Machine https://a.co/d/gcAhY09
There’s only two plates vs the three that an HV6 table gets.That does seem kind of big but maybe there are other offerings. Most I've seen for smaller tables & dividing heads seem about 3/4 the diameter of RT? But maybe that's because they have different A,B,D plates with different hole layouts?

Maybe off base but it kind of smells like they made it a common part for all 8-10-12-14" models but it just so happens to look big-ish relative to small RT.
Obviously it will have to overhang table, sometimes that's necessary anyways. But I would mock it up to see what you might be dealing with. Maybe it conflicts with table stops, DRO... whatever Or RT no longer plays nice with table T-slots etc. if its near the table end.

I will set it up to see how it all works together as I am concerned that the plates are so bit that that will interfere with the Y axis etc.

Good first project for it. Make smaller plates then return those ones

Every time I use my rotary table (no index wheels for it) I get ticked off because the hand wheel section is just a hair to big in diameter and so the whole table has to sit offset. Keep meaning to see if I can make a smaller diameter section or turn that down to make using it easier.
For anything that I have needed an indexing table my smaller 4" one is adequate and although I have the index plates a stepper motor on the end and some parameter changes to my ELS let's me index anything I want.

Somebody do the math on how many handle turns that would be.....
They generically look like so if that's what you are wondering. No mention of diameter

8" & 10" Dividing Plate
@David_R8 Does the 8" table you bought have this problem? You can see the handle just touching the mill table. The rest of the rotary table is sitting flat. The bevel on the front on the mill table makes it look like it's not but it is.
However to actually clear the table with the handle I'd have to add a spacer or turn down the handle just enough to get rid of the index marks and numbers. Machining an absolute flat 1/2" steel spacer is likely the best solution.
I've pivoted the table in a way to show the issue. When I want it to line up with the T-Slots that part of the rotary table sticks way out.
