First & only time I ever mounted a rotary table on a lathe.  Never ever seen it done before.  BTW, that's my old SB 14 1/2" lathe I traded in on my Logan.

I can't say I've ever seen a rotary table on the lathe either, but it is an interesting setup.

Why the lathe and not the mill? An axial cutter would have allowed you to use the quill to cut the graduations. That's how I cut them on my carriage stop.
