Really?  No wonder you get so much done!

Darren:
If you expand the picture on the DP1 it shows the fIngers and a bunch of other stuff, I wonder if they are included?

Next time I come over I'll bring the RT with me, I won't tell it where we are going in case it gets scared.

I mean, you locked it in the dark place........ :(

bogstandard:
Darren,

Everthing is included, plates, fingers, WHY, but I don't think the shaft or main collar, the bit with the thin bar sticking out of the side.

No need to worry over that RT, it has been in a lot of strange places during it's life, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending how you look at it, no-one ever knew how to or wanted to use it, so in all it's shuffle abouts, cupboards to drawers to racks, it just dropped a few bits off, and sat there doing nothing. Make a few easy replacement bits, and you will have an almost brand new, very expensive RT in your care. I say care, because that one must be at least 25 to 30 years old by now, and it will surely outlive you if well oiled and looked after.

An electronics whizz at our club fitted one members RT up with a stepper motor and a hand set that lets him use it as a dividing head. He says it's very accurate and he can dial in how many holes he wants to drill in say a cylinder cover, drill them then go back around and tap them, it lands in exactly the same point every time. I don't know the ins and outs of it but will try to find out more.

When I was looking at RT's I liked the look of this http://www.warco.co.uk/HV6-Rotary-table-C32F40EE41.aspx# unfortunately it looks like the accompanying tail stock, is out of stock.

Guys, just a quick one - do you think a 6" Vertex RT will be too large and restrictive for an X2 (chester conquest) mill ? I`ve been offered one for £70 and considering these are £155 from RDG, it seems a good deal. Obviously would rather than spend £120 on a new 4" Vertex if the 6" will be too big.

Any advice appreciated - I need to give him an answer asap as I guess there will be other interest.
