Vertex Rotary Table

I recently received a Vertex rotary table and was curious as to what the consensus is on these numbers gotten off of the enclosed certificate. Would these be considered average quality numbers?:

1) Flatness of clamping surface(Concave): 0.0008" 2) Parallelism of clamping surface to base: 0.0008" 3) Squareness of clamping surface to angle face: 0.0008" 4) True running of clamping surface: 0.0006" 5) True running of center hole (1) Measured at hole edge: 0.0008" (2) Measured at arbor 4-in. long: 0.0012" 6) Indexing accuracy of direct indexing mechanism: Maximum cumulative spacing error: .50"

Thanks.

Sounds average for a decent rotary table when new. Now the big question is..are you going to be using this 8 hours a day, 7 days a week? If not..dont worry about the materials holding up over years.

If you are..then perhaps a better US made rotary table may be better.

Ive got one identical to yours btw..and it works just fine, and has held up for the past 3 owners just fine
