Rotary Table Query

[Pete.]

I'd say £200 is a good deal. The chuck is probably worth 1/3 - 1/2 of that.

Did you get the little fixed steady with it?

No just the tailstock, and a drive for using it between spindles I think. I will make a machinists jack to support work in the future

Have you taken a look at the rear of the dividing plate? Mine flips around with a different set of holes each side.

No, but thanks I'll take a look tomorrow. The guys supposed to be digging a few more plates out for me as well.

That little fixed steady looks like it belongs with the DH. Handy little item too.

Are we getting our wires crossed, I am calling it a tailstock, if that's the case then yes it came with it

Does it have all the dividing plates? Normally three.

He has a rotary table so could probably make his own plates - I did one for my div head using an offcut of 6mm alloy plate (it's not as though the holes are going to creep)...
