As cool as the rotary table is, I would not want that much weight on my Bridgeport, let alone my Shizuoka. Igor, I would seriously consider putting that Hobart to use and make a crane so you can put the table on only when needed. Now that you have one table done and know how to do it, I would also consider looking for another small one to convert, so that you have one that you won't mind using. Again, I don't want to detract from your deserved victory, but that's how I see it from my vantage point. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
