Steve,
I'm really not at all worried about you damaging it in any way, as I can see from your work that you are skilled and careful. I don't use the rotary table much because I've got a 2-axis Prototrak control on my Alliant mill that makes perfect circles and arcs.
I also have a tilting Walter dividing head that also has a matching tailstock, so if I need something like that I'm more inclined to give that a try. I've yet to use it in the few months since I bought it off of Craigslist, just waiting for the right opportunity. It's much more precise than a Yuasa rotary table, just doesn't have a 10" table like the Yuasa. I do have a Rohm 3-jaw chuck, a center and dog driver, and a collet chuck with a single oddball style 1/2" collet though.
