Roto-Mike

Hi Pontiac 428
It’s really a setup fixture for working on a surface plate. I suppose you could mount a part at the angle and do some light milling then rotate to a new angle. But it’s likely to be very cumbersome. Won’t replace a proper rotary table for sure. If it’s cheap though, I’d buy it just for fun and great for setting stuff in a grinding vise.

Yeah, it's got that clean-room look to it, low holding power, and no good clamping points. It just looks so much like a RT (I see a horiz sine setup when I look at it) and has such nice mounting holes, I can't help from trying to think up ways to use it. Ah well, I've lived without it this long and didn't even know they existed until recently...

I admit it's a shiny object, but would it be useful?

That is a really tough one. If it was super cheap I’d be a goner. But it mostly just appeals to my TAS as I don’t have a surface grinder or do super accurate angle setups. I do appreciate it being posted that’s for sure. It’s always good to know about these kinds of tools.
