Kudos Alan! The best part of this project is it's scalable for how ever many holes you may need,

Nice ! I can see how useful this can be!

Interesting project, great end results. Take care.

very nice and so neat. brilliant.

Gday Alan, this turned out really nice, I like the dividing head set you have, that was a good series of videos when you made it, it seems to be quite accurate on a full rotation which is brilliant, please stay safe and thanks for sharing, Cheers Matty

Muito bom Aprovado valeu 👍 muito obrigado! Brasil 🇧🇷

very interesting achievment allan great job love your channell and i do pick up alot of ways to do things on your show. thanks again thumbs up stay safe from all of this covid crap.

hello Allan,nice video,thank you for sharing.....

Hi Alan Best rigged lathe indexing I've seen, 🇬🇧👍

Great idea. Thanks. Cheers!

This is very clever!

Marvelous Alan..... cheers from US....Paul

Now I see your Radius Cutter, I have to look further into this method of yours, looks very interesting

Just being able to perform simple indexing without the expense of a full indexing head would be astounding.

Very well done! Your radius tool is the cats-ass! Very cool👍😊

Finding a means to achieve accurate, rotational angles without the use of an expensive Indexing head would be welcome addition to the workshop.

I have stumbled on your site where you are using a Brake Disk Rotor as an Indexing Plate. For the past few years I have been thinking along these lines. My idea is to use as large a rotor as possible. My reasoning is as follows, the larger the index plate the more possible increased accuracy with the greater diameter of the plate. I cannot remember where I saw it but I believe in the Victorian era indexing plate of a number of feet in diameter was employed to achieve the highest degree of accuracy. The only thing I can remember was the Plate was held in the Horizontal plane and rotated using a worm gear in to the correct degree angle. I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks for Listening. Dave

Allen, Could you show in another video how you made and mounted the index ring to the chuck/ spindle? Thanks, Rod b

Indexing Plate, Direct Index, I had not thought you would use the plate on the Chuck Side of the Lathe, Most I have seen using this principle have been on the outboard side of the Spindle where more space is available. I have to look over your site in a lot more depth.

Those indexing drill holes could go straight in the chuck. It wouldn't hurt any thing. You can get an extra used chuck for 2 or 4 hundred bucks.

Would it be sacrilege to have put the holes straight into the chuck ? 😮

I did hear the 24 holes, Therefore 1= 360, 2=180, 24=15, 36=10, 72=5.0 Please Explain how you rotated the angles exactly.

Can someone fill me in please. How can the lathe get used when the locating pin is in hole seen as the chuck cannot be turning.

Very nice, but how would you do it if you didn't have access to your cnc indexing set up like 99% of your viewers don't ?

How did u attached ring on chuck glue or press fit?

On the Drilling you rotated 15 degrees, but to my understanding, you did not explain how you determined accurately how you determined 15 degrees. Sorry if I missed how you were able to precisely make a 15 degree rotation.
