    Have just been watching video upon video how to do it and I am not going to buy a 100 tooth saw blade to mark one little rotating dial.

    Looking for the best/easiest/fastest to manufacture carrage stop on this site.
    Do you have a rotary table?

    While an indexing device, either commercial or improvised, makes this job much easier, for one-offs it can be done on a rotary table. For 100 divisions simply move the table 360/100 = 3.6 degrees between divisions. Admittedly tedious but effective.
