Unleash Your Machining Potential

The VERTEX 12″ Horizontal/Vertical Rotary Table isn’t just a tool; it’s an investment in expanded capabilities and new revenue streams. Here’s how this versatile rotary table can transform your operations and open up new sales opportunities:

• Precision Gear Cutting: Create custom gears, splines, and sprockets with unparalleled accuracy. Offer bespoke gear manufacturing services to local industries or specialty vehicle restorers.
• Fluting & Engraving: Produce decorative flutes on columns, handles, or shafts. Perfect for custom furniture components, architectural details, or artistic metalwork that commands premium pricing.
• Multi-Sided Machining (Indexing): Easily machine multiple faces of a workpiece without re-fixturing. This significantly reduces setup time and improves accuracy for projects like square or hexagonal components, manifold blocks, or complex jigs.
• Circular Slotting & Hole Patterns: Accurately drill hole patterns on a circular pitch, or mill radial slots in flanges, cam plates, and dials. Essential for industrial components, instrument panels, or custom machinery parts.
• Angled Drilling & Boring: Precisely bore or drill holes at specific angles relative to a central axis.¹⁸ This capability is vital for creating angled passages in engine components, specialized fittings, or complex tooling.
• Rotary Grinding: Achieve perfectly flat and parallel surfaces on circular parts, or grind precise contours. Ideal for finishing operations on high-tolerance components or sharpening custom cutting tools.
• Fixture & Jig Creation: Fabricate highly accurate and repeatable fixtures and jigs for your own production lines or as a service to other manufacturers, streamlining their processes.
• Educational & Prototyping: An excellent addition for vocational schools, engineering programs, and R&D departments where teaching precision machining and rapid prototyping of complex parts is essential.
