Hi,
Rotary table Alan; my you are posh. Its interesting to see you take the "high tech" route and I'm keen to watch your progress. I'm too tight for such luxuries and resort to using high precision scrap; bits of paper and on a good day a sliding bevel.
Get stuck in Alan and go for it; why bother with a prototype because the first one will be interesting but the second one boring.
How do you intend to produce the flats and the offset square end; have you decided on a plan of action?
I like to see how others approach these tricky little projects as I hope to pick up some tips and I'm always willing to learn new techniques.
As David rightly states such a spindle would appear easy to make after all it's only a short length of 1/4" Dia rod but it is deceptive in it's simplicity. Have fun.
Kind regards, Col.
