It's been a while since I've been in the market for shop stuff. Now
I'm thinking about some indexing equipment, rotary table, dividing
head maybe, and like that. I don't need to go high end, but neither
do I like junk; so, before digging into the catalogs, I thought I'd
ask: Does Palmgren still suck? Is Phase II still pretty good? Any
other midrange names out there I should watch for / watch out for?

I never really thought Palmgren "sucked". Certainly not inexpensive,
but a pretty good reputation from what I had heard. If someone could
enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

Phase II has improved over the years, but recently has eliminated a
number of products from their catalog. I've been waiting for new
catalogs for over a year now (I am a distributor, and it makes it hard
to sell without catalogs).
