The moment you need evenly spaced holes or indexed angles on a mill, a rotary table becomes the difference between marking out each position by hand and setting a repeatable setup. The Edge Tools rotary table aims to bring that capability to smaller benches without taking over the workspace.
Quick verdict
If your milling work involves smaller parts and occasional indexing jobs, the Edge Tools rotary table covers the fundamentals: a 360-degree graduated table, four slots, and a zeroable hand wheel. It is listed at USD 64.89. For a shop that mostly does small part indexing, this covers the basics without complicating the bench.
Who it suits
With a 3-inch/75mm table (80mm diameter) and a center height of about 2-5/8 inches without a chuck, this unit is geared toward smaller workpieces and modest shop spaces. If most of your projects fit within those dimensions, it's a natural fit. It's less suited to large castings or tall vertical parts because of the compact envelope.
What stands out
- Horizontal and vertical mounting: The table can be mounted in either orientation, so you can switch between flat and upright work without needing a second table.
- Zeroable hand wheel: Graduated in divisions of 10 minutes, it can be reset to zero, making it easier to return to a reference angle on repeat jobs.
- Four-slot table: Four slots provide multiple clamping positions, which simplifies fixture placement for small parts.
- 1:36 worm gear ratio: One full handle rotation turns the table by 10 degrees, giving a predictable relationship between handle turns and table angle.
Meaningful trade-offs
The 1:36 ratio is workable, but it's not ultra-fine: a full turn moves the table 10 degrees, so fine adjustments come from reading the 10-minute graduations rather than a slower ratio. The design is also rotary-only, with no cross-slide travel. That means you won't get linear slide movement from this table.
Edge Tools 3-Inch 75mm Horizontal-Vertical Rotary Table
This rotary table combines two mounting orientations in one compact accessory. Its main draw is the horizontal-vertical flexibility; its main limitation is the missing cross-slide.
Bottom line
At USD 64.89, this rotary table is a practical way to add 360-degree indexing to a small mill. It suits smaller workpieces and simple indexing tasks, and for those jobs it should earn its place.
