    Lots of folks suggesting rotating the table 45°. That’s a nightmare waiting to happen. Now your pointer is not in a place that’s easy to see, and you’ll have parallax issues every time you look at it. Or if you leave the pointer alone, now you have to do all your math offset by 45 which is a guaranteed source of very expensive errors. Rotary table setups are hard enough as it is without making everything worse for yourself. On top of all that, you’ve only “solved” half the problems I’m trying to solve.<br><br>Some folks also saying all MIC-6 is ground. No, it isn’t. McMaster sells regular and tight tolerance versions of it. I have bought both and the regular version is just a lump of cast aluminum cut on a saw.

    Your hand tap vs machine tap explanation was excellent. <br>It was so clear and well done that I think Sprocket would now give you a big meow if you put a hand tap in your cordless drill. lol

    Good idea to make life a little easier.<br>You can&apos;t beat a good sacrifice. The ancients were aware of that.

    I made an 8&quot; square fixture plate for my 8&quot; rotary table. I find leaving the plate square vs round gives me additional space for the back ends of strap clamps.

    That&apos;s pretty cool.<br>And well done as usual.<br>And yes, I laughed out loud at &quot;Clearance is clearance Clarence&quot; again.<br>Thanks, and Meow to Sprocket.

    Your comments about the problematic nature of turning 6061 almost made me cry. This whole time I thought it was me.

    This was a very informative show, your techniques are well discribed. You are in my top 3 watched behind click spring but way above 98% of the others.thank you. That info on taps was the best. 😊
