Hi,
I need a new 6 inch rotary table and have seen the Vertex offering at a
recent show. Also looking at one from Arc Eurotrade which is a bit
dearer but looks better made. Any experience with these ?
There's also the second hand option but ex-industrial ones all tend to
be too big for my needs.

I've got the AET 6inch table, pleased with it. One simple mod was to add a
thrust race. Is it better than the Vertex ones? Don't know.

Hi Ifoggy,
I have the Vertex and am happy with it, I also have the tail centre
and dividing attachment. The rub was after I bought all the bits they
were on offer as a set for very much less than I paid, boo hoo!
If you are going to buy a RT,check how many Tee slots it has, some
have three, some have four. If yoiu get a four one you can mount a
four jaw chuck, which comes in handy sometimes.
T.W..

I also have a Vertex that I'm entirely happy with...but I don't
understand why you can't mount a four-jaw chuck on a three slot table?

.....I should have added to my own post, the Vertex has a 2MT centre hole
which can take an adaptor to mount just about anything within reason.
