Highest Quality Rotary Table

[Calandrod]

What are some of the best Rotary table brands you can buy? I only buy tools once so quality of the most important thing. I’ll happily buy vintage if people truly think they are better. I have a Bridgeport (pictured below)

I'm very pleased with my 10" Bison. It came with dividing plates as well.

My 12” Bridgeport brand seems to have everything you could want in a rotary table.
I have a separate dividing head so no need for that function on the rotab.

Walter, Troyke, SIP, Deckel and Moore spring to mind.

I have a 16" Cincinnati with a PTO shaft which drives the same worm as the handwheel.
Many years ago I adapted a universal gear-motor to it for a particular project, cutting a series of annular grooves around large plexiglass rings.
IIRC Cincinnati sold their rotary tables as "circular milling attachments" back in the day.
Tables built by any of the major milling machine companies have to be good.
