They are not that expensive new, might be easier to just go that way?

Hi Heavy Metal, is that the type of metal you use or the Music you listen to?
Welcome to a TOP FORUM. Where are you located, as your location is marked as Austraia, which is a VEEEEERY big place?
Would it be possible to change your location to a town or Suburb and state, PLEASE, as it makes it difficult when you ask for help chasing an item or needing a hand with something, not knowing roughly where you are.
I'm in Murray Bridge SA, gateway to the eastern states. I'm looking for one to use as a welding rotator, which is why I'd prefer a worn second hand unit, I'd feel guilty using a new one for welding on.
As commented earlier, about buying a new one, $100 may not be much money to some, while others on a pension, might find it takes a couple of months to save up for, and there's always something more pressing needing the money, clothes Glasses etc.

Hi Kryn
Actually I thought the thread subject might have given a hint.WTB Small Rotary Table, Perth WA
But I have taken your comments on board and changed my location in my profile, thanks for pointing it out.
I'm looking for something to make into a 4th axis for my mill.
Out here in WA (we call it Wait Awhile) everything costs a Million $$ or takes forever to arrive.
I'm actually only just starting out, and really on the lookout for almost anything. I have gathered a bit of lathe and mill tooling and thanks to Rodm's assistance also.

Hi Brian, Thank you for altering your location.
I realise it's in the thread title, but not in the other part, where most people look when later you start posting more.
I know what you mean about your comment about WA, very short communication hours, and I used to send stuff over there quite often. I've been starting out for about 12 years, still looking for stuff!!!!! I don't have much in the way of tooling which is why I keep a look out on the Forum and Gumtree for stuff.
Have you thought about using a 4th axis controlled stepper motor, with an ardino controller, not that I know anything about CNC stuff. I got given a universal dividing head recently, very heavy unit. I'll send you a PM

I find that private couriers (I use TNT quite a bit) are significantly faster and only a tiny bit more expensive for getting gear from or to WA. I sent 45 kg in a half Meter cube box there for $80 last week
