First photo shows the underside of the table...it is gorgeous, beautiful ground surface. Next photo shows the mounting surface when the table is "on edge". Not as nice, but perfectly fine. Third photo shows the top of the table...it too is good. The circumferential grooves are not de-burred (but no burrs stick above the mounting surface).... typical for this price point. The next two photos show the table sitting on a standard Bridgeport manual mill, it fits great. The wheel for rotating the table is too large of a diameter for it to clear the mill table (i.e. it has to hang off the side). The actual motion of the table is smooth. 15 years ago the usual Chinese rotary table is really terrible. This one is pretty nice, but it still required a bit of work. The threads on the handle were not machined properly, this was easily fixed with a die. The wheel rubbed on the collar with the zero mark on it... I had to take .015" off the collar thickness to fix the issue. It came with screw on bosses that drop into the T-slots of the mill. These are oversize by about .006" (just like the ones that come on the Kaka tail stock that is used with this table). Again, easily fixed. The last photo shows the two bosses. You can clearly see that one of the holes is off center by almost .090". If you want to align the table and tail stock to the x-axis of your mill, then you will have to make a new boss with a correctly positioned hole. But the bottom line is that this table works really well.

Worked great and had low/no backlash, however it rusts really easily even with antirust products applied. Whatever cast iron they used seems to just be rust prone.
