For Those Trying to Mount the Sherline CNC Rotary Table on Mill Table

This was a source of considerable frustration a few minutes ago.  The motor assembly protrudes far enough below the rest of the assembly that you cannot seemingly use it in many positions,  especially the ones that I need.  This is weird because Sherline shows it mounted to their tilting table for making cuts at a 90 degree angle from the table.

I think the solution is to mount the rotary table on the tilting table with the table at 0 degrees.  The tilting table adds a couple inches of elevation from the mill table.  This should give enough clearance. 

I have not tried this yet because I need to take breaks every hour from intellectual efforts to avoid exhausting my brain.

UPDATE: Yes, that solves it.  It is a booger to mount rotating table on tilting table and tilting table on mill table, but it works.
