Greetings...
I'm intending to install a SB rotary table on my lathe in lieu of a milling attachment. I figure it'll do for me. I just am not sure about how to mount the thing once I get it. All the depictions of this table show that in order to have the hand wheel on the frontside the lathe, it has to be perched on the narrowest part of its base. Which means to me that I need to have an angle block or plate behind it (just like the milling attachment).
I've been perusing the McMaster catalog and there are a few sizes that look like they might work but they're costly enough to not buy them, yet.
So my question is, and not actually having the table in hand as yet, any ideas about what to bolt to the saddle so I can bolt the table when it arrives?
Thanks!
