That IS A Lot of holes...painstaking! Then there was a LOT of deburring. Kudo's for tenacity!! Interesting setup on the cross slide for the drill and offsetting the BC's. Also the 90° offset for the indexer on the spindle...could quite figure out how he translated that? Some kind of worm gear maybe, using that printed wheel as a reference?

As I was reading the reply, I tought of my own desire to create a small indexer.

And then the lightbulb came on: in my collection of many Odd Things, I have a Plastic, 72 tooth 3 inch diameter gear!


The endless possibilities to start an indexer, with the Outer Diameter ALREADY indexed. :-)


And also Supplying a means from the very Start to "lock it in place" is a done deal!


I can mount its hub in my little 2.75 inch 3 Jaw chuck, and it is almost finished before I get started!


I just bought a USB powered "micro" dremel, it only has a 3/32 chuck, but I bought it for the light weight, And working plastic!!!
