Hi folks, first post. I purchased a Vertex HV4 rotary table and am very happy with the quality of it. I didn't think however I'd have such a head scratching time figuring out how to mount it vertically, while allowing for as much x-axis as physically possible. Basically I am seeking suggestions for how I can mount this as far left on the table as possible, as I have some longish pieces of work to hold. I mounted it with step clamping blocks but this took up a few inches of left-of-the-RT in x-axis real estate and puts the tip of the 3jaw chuck past the centre point of the table! I tried sneaking some low profile step claps underneath the chuck side to hold it but the weight and centre of gravity really wants something forcing the unit down from the top or from the rear (left hand side) hopefully this makes sense without photos.
There doesnt really seem to be anything to clamp on, on the table. I am happy to post some photos but its a fairly common RT so I figure someone must have one and figured this out.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim
