Hi! I'm not sure if this should be posted here or elsewhere.. If needed please move to the correct forum, and apologies for my mistake.
I am in the process of purchasing a GO755, and am looking at a few add-ons that I feel I will be using extensively in the near future. I wanted to purchase a lathe along with the GO755, but I feel that I would just be spending too much right now and not enough for tooling, and have way to much to chew on, so the lathe will be purchased later.
I am however looking at rotary tables (Grizzly H7527 6" Rotary Table w/ Div. Plates) to add on to the Go755 and would like to know a few things.
1st- Has anybody used this table, and what are your overall opinions. I am not going to be doing aerospace work, and I know that it won't probably be as accurate as others, but the price fits my wallet for what it comes with. Is it worth the pricetag?
2nd- I would like to add a 4 jaw chuck to it, however Grizzly does not make a kit for the (H7527 6" Rotary Table w/ Div. Plates) like they do for the (H5940 4" Rotary Table w/ Indexing). Would I need to make a backing plate to mount to the rotary table? Grizzly sells a blank backing plate that I am looking at. If that is the direction I should go, would I then just "pick" a 6" chuck? Are there specific chucks that I should be looking at for use with a rotary table. Can I get a larger chuck than the 6" table, ie.. 8".
Basically, I am looking to have a combo like this (H5940 4" Rotary Table w/ Indexing---T10053 3-1/4" 4-Jaw Chuck for 4" Rotary Table) for the (H7527 6" Rotary Table w/ Div. Plates).
Thanks ahead of time for any help or input!
