You could build your own indexing head, look up Gingery lathe. He published a series of how to books on building your own machine shop from scratch. The series of books start with teaching you how to build a foundry, all the tools needed and furnace to melt aluminum. Then teaches you how to build a mold to cast aluminum to build a metal cutting lathe, milling machine, drill press and accessories. One book teaches how to build a dividing head or indexing head. I have built it and it works wonderfully. I still have and use the lathe I built from 35 years ago. Here is the link.
