I've converted a few Vertex now both the rotary tables and the
smaller dividing heads when I was doing some conversion work for Tony
Jeffree's DivisionMaster.
Some have been fine right out the box and others have benefitted from
a strip and a good clean and lighter lubricant applied.
The Verex does have a good system of adjustment and the cast iron
construction is a definite improvement as far as rigidity goes on the
alloy units.
