   I'm probably going to wait until I am a little more cash flush and just   
   buy a new one.   
      
   I already have a 4" with a small chuck fitted for small stuff, a 6"   
   CNCed for the Tormach mill, several spin indexers which I used for   
   indexing 4th axis parts manually before getting the 6" CNC table, and a   
   BS-0 size indexing head for "precision" indexing.   
      
   I can get by without it for most things, but something in the 12 inch or   
   larger range would add some capability.  I could make certain types of   
   molds larger than the working envelope of my machines without   
   re-indexing. Of course I make molds larger than my machines now, by   
   moving them and reindexing them.  I've built some fixtures with that in   
   mind to achieve minimal loss of relative position.   
      
   I also have the obligatory collet blocks for quick 4 and 6 side indexing   
   small parts in a vise.   
      
   My main reason for posting was I was totally stunned by the price   
   gouging scam from the freight quoting services.
