I have a Vertex 6" rotary table which I'm not 100% certain on how the scale works. See pics below.
The 0 degree mark on the table matches the 0 on the dial. Same with the 1, 2, 3 degree marks which makes sense since the gear ratio is 90:1.
There are 30 lines between each degree on the dial implying that each line is 2 minutes. The vernier has 3 lines. So, does this mean that each of the vernier lines is 2/3 minute or 40 seconds? If so, this is very confusing.
