I just purchased a Vertex 8" rotary table from Amazon. Seemed to be a good price and free shipping. About 1 hour later I was looking at the listing to see if maybe I had screwed up buying it as I know nothing about rotary tables and have not yet seen the mill it will sit upon! PM940 on back order. The price had jumped $25 and now the shipping was $68! Even if I did make a mistake at least I got a good deal. Ha.
I am watching a lot of you tube videos on selecting the right one and proper setup ect. There is a guy named Joe Pieczynski who has a good tutorial,explains things well. I will post a link to the video, watch from the 10 minute mark. He focuses on the dialing in of the handle and scale. The table I received has markings that are finer graduations on the rotating scale than on the stationary scale (0-60 minutes fine tune). The Phase II that he is using has the same width graduations on each scale. It makes sense when he explains using his dial but mine does not seem to jive. Also there is a gap of about .1" between the scales. The outer handle will not slide on far enough it seems. The pocket on the inside of the outer handle is 1.037" and the internal components on the shaft project 1.3". Any body have any comments on this? I also purchased the Vertex dividing plate set which hasn't shipped yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
These pictures show mine with the gap and the pictures off of Amazon. Mine is a 3 slot....it seems they all are coming through like that. Even the ones showing 4 slots are getting comments that people are receiving 3 slot tables. I was under the assumption that Vertex was a good name. It has all the Vertex paperwork. States on table it is made in Taiwan with 1 year warranty.
