garvin rotary table made in china

It has a 36:1 gear ratio instead of a 72:1 like some other tables, but that also means you"re cranking less to get from one position to the next. It"s solid, and seems to be machined to a better fit and finish than typical Chinese stuff. It"s made in India, and ships from there via Fedex air. I got mine in about 3 days.

I purchased a 6" H/V rotary table with the tailstock and indexing plates from Shars last spring. The price was about the same as the one from Grizzly. It is a Chinese made unit, but works quite well in my book. The only thing I didn"t like about it was the color of the paint on it, it is red and blue. Looks kinda bright! It works well, is nice and tight, and I really have no complaints. I believe that a Phase II or Vertex might be of slightly better quality, but I cannot say for sure. The new model from Shars has three slots instead of four like mine. Three slots makes it easier to mount a chuck to the table, but four slots is not a problem, I can easily make an adapter for a chuck. Their new 6" model also uses an MT3 taper, whereas mine uses an MT2 taper, which works for me as I already have a bunch of MT2 stuff for my Clausing 8520 mill. The table by itself currently sells for $285 plus shipping, and is available with tailstock and index plates for $503 plus shipping. I cannot say that it is the best for the money, simply that I am happy with mine.

Rotary table in market mainly includes 4 kinds of mechanism that is worm gear, roller cam, DD driver and harmonic structure. The following is the introduction:

1. worm gear: it’s one of  the most popular structrue in NC rotary table  because of its irreversibility and costs.The worm is generally made of bronze, but the wear resistance is poor. In order to improve the service life, some manufacturers use the alloy steel.

3.DD motor: it’s the most efficient rotary table with the highest precision. It has the highest precision because it has no mechanical structure, which is directly driven by motor , no reducer. It has high technical difficulty and high price. It is generally used for five axis machine tools.
