I built a turntable from material that I had laying around in the shop.
It's 10" in diameter, 3/4" thick, made of steel. Heavy. It turns on a flange bearing. It will free spin for quite a while.
Now, to my question.
If I use the self centering vise, what keeps the vise on the turntable? Just the weight?
I understand the inertia from the handpiece will be pretty small. I'm looking at a pretty small vise, is the weight of the Grizzly self-centering vise something that I should consider or will a 2" self-centering vise be sufficient?
The 2" vise weighs 7-3/4 lbs, the Grizzly H7576 weighs 21 pounds.
The capacity on the small vise is 2 x 2.
The capacity on the Grizzly is 4 x 4.
Cost is not a consideration, they are pretty close.
Thanks!
