I'm still not sure what you're saying....I know you can bolt a
four-jaw directly to the face of the Vertex...but you can also fit a
four-jaw to a spigot fitted in the 2MT centre hole. I have a 4-jaw, with
a threaded Myford body, fitted at the moment.

Hi again Chris
Four Tee slots allow a rigid fitting of a 4Jaw independant chuck .
What can you bolt to three Tee slots? My point is, given the option of
3 or 4, 4 is more useful.
Ignoring all the debate over 3 or 4 slots, any Rotary Table is better
than none, and the Vertex is a solid and accurate bit of kit
T.W.

Its quite easy to make a backplate one side of which will fix to both a rotary table and to a lathe spindle, and the other side to a 3-jaw and a 4-jaw chuck and even to a collet chuck, which gives a good solution in terms of rigidity and function.
