Hi Gary. I have the exact same rotary table except branded by Vertex, and the engage/disengage lever that you are about to operate at 3:39 'adjusts' the mesh of the handwheel to the table. So, if you don't engage it as far as you did, it will remove that little 'tight spot' that you mention. Having said that, this is at the expense of backlash which you also mention and state the remedy for. It's a perfectly high end(ish) quality piece of kit, and I don't think you'll have problems with it. Regards Mark in the UK
@@alanmaughan7968 Well, I'm not sitting next to my Vertex HV8 right now, but from comparing the images in the video, AND Vevor's site, AND now the Vertex HV8 online, I would say that they may not literally be the same casting(s), but the various elements of the table are virtually identical. This is just my opinion though.
Very nice video. Review and information on this. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Nothing really to show, just a big piece of ⅜” plate bolted to the cross slide instead of the tool post and then bolt the rotary table to that. Takes a bit of juggling around to get it in the ideal spot but pretty simple really. The lathe is a pretty versatile tool, I’m currently using mine as a grinder! instagram.com/reel/CqI8zHSDciV/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
@@garyhuston I’ve been metal working for some time now. And and starting to realize that maybe having a mill is a good thing. Do you have one for a beginner that you recommend?
🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely unusable scrap. I ordered this table and returned it immediately. Bended screws, incredible tolerance, everything was knocking, absolutely unusable for milling!
