You might also look at the Vertex CS-6 Super Indexing Rotary table, these come with a 8" rotary table as well as a 6" chuck. They are heavy, around 125lbs with the chuck. I have a full size knee mill and use an adapter plate between that it mounts to so I can adjust the position on my table. I use the chuck quite frequently, I also have a 4J 8" independent chuck that mount to the face plate.

It all depends on what you are planning on using the rotary table for and the size of the work.
