November is rotary table month!

Hey Ian,
Did you see any smaller Rotary Tables on your travels to auctions ?
I could use a 6” Diameter unit.
One reason I got this one is that it was the smallest one! Typically in these industrial auctions you see large 12 inch or even 14 inch RT's. Don't think I've ever seen a 6 inch in an industrial auction.

Nice catch! Been keeping my eye out for a 6 - 8" RT myself.

Anyone have any experience with the (cheap) Vevor offering? I'm presuming it's bare bones and a bit crude(?).

D:cool:

Ok, thanks Ian.
I will keep searching.

Dave - FYI
I bought a VEVOR X-Y mill table, last year, that seems pretty robust and accurate.
Good castings and adjustable jibs for both axis travel.

My 8” I got at an auction and it’s actually the second 8” I got from an auction. The first was a three slot and the second had 4 slots and came with a bison 3 jaw chuck so I sold the first one.

Both were STM branded but based on the model number and appearance were made by Vertex. The Vertex branded ones aren’t terribly expensive new.
