I bought mine from Shars. I have been happy with it. It came with a rotating base. I made a backing plate for the rotating base that fits my lathe chucks. I can move the chucks from the lathe to the mill and back without losing concentricity. It has been handy for drilling and taping bolt circle holes among other things.
No thread. The partially completed backing plate came with the lathe when I bought it. All I had to do was dial it in on my lathe and bore a hole to fit the pin on the swivel base. Here are some pictures.
You say you don't want a cheap Chinese one but I will say the Vevor I bought seems t be pretty good for the price. My only gripe was that it dodn't come with a way to hold it to the bed.
