Hi Terry,
On mine, went as large as possible without restricting the movement in the direction of the mill column. Sometimes you need extra room to hold down odd shape parts. Another consideration would be if the heights were different, and you would lose too much vertical travel. Amazing how quick a rotary table, mill vise, and workpiece add up to a lot of height.

When you have the rotary table installed on the mill, with a bit of stock in the chuck, say, or clamped to the table, and a cutter in the mill, would you mind taking a few photos and putting them up. Let people see how your mill accommodates a 6" rotary table. Thanks.

That looks like a "Vertex" 6" RT. I've recently purchased one. They are very nice. Did you get the dividing head kit as well ?

I have a 9 x 42 Bridgeport and my rotary table is a Troyke 15" Horizontal it works nice for flywheel when I revamp them to fit different engines. The Bridgeport ram moves in and out so I have lots of travel to accommodate the things I put on it.
