If you bought the 6" Vertex rotary table be careful of the indexing tables at the rear of the instruction manual. As I learnt the hard way there's a number of errors and a few ommissions in there. I've made up a corrected spreadsheet if you need it.

I bought a vertex , verticle and horizontal dividing head .
I have not figured out the indirect indexing part yet but it is starting to make more sense.
At this point I have no idea if the indirect part is accurate or not.
The direct plate works good though .
Thanks for the offer , I will take that spread sheet because I do have a rotary table also.

Any reason why you just didnt buy the dividing plates for the rotary or did you specifically require a divideing head.

Hey wannabe could I have a copy of the spreadsheet as well as I have a vertex 6".

If you want to get a bit of a idea with milling here is a link to some videos from MIT there are other ones as well. I have found them interesting.

No no real reason. I just bought the dividing head first and later I got the rotary table as a gift without any plates.
