A question about indexing rotary vises?

[Chandos]

I'm starting my search for an 8"-10" indexing rotary vise. I can spend around $700. Any suggestions as to what to look for? Any considerations that I ought to keep in mind? This is for a Bridgeport J-head.

I'd prefer to buy used.

Many thanks!

Your description leaves a bit to be desired. Can you post a picture of what your looking for? Are you needing a swivel vise, or something with an index head, or a vise on a rotary table?

Link to a vise in the msc catalog http://www.mscdirect.com/

Also the standard vise for a Bridgeport is a 6" width.

I might have something, but not really sure what it is exactly you're looking for. Rotary table? Post up a pic.

I'm an idiot. I meant "indexing table," of course. I've got a decent vise.

I see why this was confusing.

CHeers!

I'm losing it. I want an "indexing rotary table," but am open to alternatives.

Can you find one here? http://www.mscdirect.com/browse/Cla...ables/Rotary-Tables?navid=12101526+4288213196

or are you talking of a different devise? There are rotary tables or indexers.

My suggestion would be to find a 12" preferably one that is both horizontal and vertical so you can stand it on edge without an angle plate. Phase II's are decent and can usually be had in the $2-300 range IME.
