The HV and it's lookalike series of rotary tables is quite popular amongst Model Engineers. This spreadsheet shows the plates required and index rotations for all possible divisions. Some divisors are marked as "Not Available" and these are the ones where the error is too greater than 0.5%. For some applications these ratios may still be acceptable. The spreadshet is easily adaptable to other rotary tables.
