Hi Matthew,
A lot of us use use a modified drillpress to get adjustable height for engraving with a scope.
I often put a cheap plastic serving tray under my turntable and vise to catch dust or gold chips.
Rex has a drillstand that is made with a revolving table and probably doesn't need another turntable under his vise.
I saw one of this type for a good price at Harbor Freight Co last week.
My old drillpress set-up has served for many years.

Best, John B.
