    Setting an index head on mill and no need to clock up

    Hi All

    I have made a short video explaining how I set up my indexing head centrally to the spindle with no need to clock the indexing head to set datums. This works for rotary tables, dividing heads, collet chucks etc. As long as the spindle can be located centrally to the attachment to be clamped in the vertical axis.



    I hope some will find this technique helpful.
