I've been needing to buy a rotary table for use with my Grizzly
Mill/Drill. Been thinking along the lines of an 8". I will need to
mount a chuck to it. Can any of you offer some advice? How do I mount a
chuck to the table? Will I have to make a specisl backing plate with
holes to line up with the slots on the table? Would I be better off
just trying to clamp a 6" four-jaw with studs and T-nuts? How do you
more expierence guys do this?


Most RTS have 4 radial slots for clamping. Most 4-jaw chucks have 4 bolts for
clamping. Simple. Center the table on the mill, put T-nuts in the 4 slots, bolt
the chuck on, center the chuck body, tighten.

3-jaw chucks are tougher.
