$1800 and the rotary table and vise is not included. Seems pricey.

Nice idea.

NO kidding. I'll bet Ig makes an equivalent for under $300.

Yes, it does not seem to be very complicated. Some welding, some CNC
machining, not really that much seems to be involved. Just three large
pieces of iron is what is needed.

Do you have a CNC rotary table, Ig? They're far more useful than a trunnion
for accurate work. Trunnions are basically production tools with multiple
sets of fixtures; unless you get into the really expensive ones, they aren't
generally high-accuracy devices.

The Haas trunnion with a vise never looked like it made a lot of sense to
me. It isn't good for fixturing multiple parts and it doesn't seem to offer
a lot over a vertical rotary table, unless your particular part
configuration just can't be set up on the table itself.

On the other hand, a rotary table that can be set up vertically can be very
useful in a small shop.

Yes, I do, I think that I showed it and how it turnsto you, but
perhaps the beer interfered.

This is what I have.

Besides being heavy, these are also complicated to use.

Yea, I'm not a hobbyist, We have plenty of machines here that could
handle that.
