Well after hearing people say that "Vertex" rotary tables are of reasonably good quality, I bought the 6" table.
I took it out of the box, cleaned it off, rotated the worm gear engagement handle (if that's what you would call it) to the "on" position, turned the handle clockwise a few revolutions..and then it bound up and wouldn't turn any more.
Are these things are supposed to work out-of-the-box, or do you have to take them all apart and screw around with them?
I'm starting to get really sick and tired of Chinese hardware and the poor documentation that comes with it...
