Indexing Requirements

NOTE: 

Check your lathes operating manual to understand how the 

index feature works on your lathe.

If your indexing accessory or lathe has 24 grooves, the turning’s sections 
can be made in multiples of 24, 12, 8, 6, 3 and 2. For example, to make 8 
equal sections, mark your work at 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 and 22. Advance the 
indexing pin to lock the head stock spindle in place until it engages.

Always back the index pin out before advancing to the next indexing position  
on the lathe
