mini lathe indexing system

Hello again guys,

Been thinking about doing this for some time. I'm always on the lookout for stuff to make stuff out of, well one day I picked up 2 brother industrial sewing machines and a motor. The machines yielded some nice bits and pieces but the motor sat under my feet for about 3 months. I offered it to several friends but no-one wanted it, got bored one day and decided to strip it. To my surprise it had a clutch in it, went Hmm then chucked it next to my lathe for another 2 months I recon. It was just the right size for an indexing wheel, I mean it was already round and had a hole in the middle, bonus. The hole fits exactly over the lathe spindle, sits flat and centered, no modifying required, talk about arsie (aussie slang for dumb luck) so heres the result.

cheers till next time
