I bought a nice used USA 8x6" table for about $60 IIRC, several years
ago, and it's suitable for mounting other tooling to if needed.. but a
more rigid mount with the workpiece clamped directly to the table.

For tiny workpieces, I have a pivot-pin type slotted tilt table about
4" square, or angle vises to use.

The trunnion with integral rotary table looks interesting, but I can't
think of much use for it.

I've seen video, most likely on youtube, of them being used to machine
miniature gas turbine rotors or the wax master for lost wax casting. The
item looked very much like a turbocharger rotor.
