Carlos,
Since this thread started, I have received and installed my "banding wheel", like the one Paolo demonstrates on his video in this thread. I find that it works great for my engraving, even with my heavy GRS positioning ball vise. The one central bearing will revolve the vise about thirty times with one push, and it is totally silent. I do know that some work demands the low height turntable, but my GRS one was a bit noisy, and I am a big fan of GRS, and also like Lindsay products. True, turntables will support massive loads, but even a heavy ball vise is a very light load for most bearings. I thought that the single bearing of a banding wheel might give a problem with rigidity, but it does not, it is super sensitive, and the cost is much lower than a turntable.
