Indexing Facility
DISCONNECT THE LATHE FROM THE MAINS
SUPPLY BEFORE CONTINUING!
Indexing is an operation of dividing the circumference
of a cylindrical workpiece into equal number of divisions.
The lathe allows 36 indexed positions at 10˚divisions. The
indexing facility is useful for fluted columns, clock faces
and accurate hole positioning.
The diagram as shown is viewed looking from the
tailstock end of the lathe. There are three holes in the
headstock (A, B, C), 40˚ degrees apart, to accept the
indexing pin (I). The spindle collar has 12 equally spaced
holes around its circumference, 30˚degree apart. They
are numbered 1 through 12.
Hole (B) in the headstock casting is for 12 point indexing,
the middle hole (A) is for 24 point indexing and hole (C) is
for 36 point indexing. NOTE: Holes (A & C) are threaded
and hole (B) is smooth bore.

NOTE: A dashed line indicates that particular set of angles is not possible with the indexer
If you wish to create 9 flutes
on your spindle workpiece,
use the indexing chart and
find '9' in the 'No. Flutes'
column. Each flute angle will
be 40˚degrees. The index
pin (I) should first be inserted
into the hole combination
'A-1'. Make your first flute at
this position. Remove the
indexing pin and rotate the
spindle until the index pin
can be inserted into hole
combination 'A-5'; this will
be followed by 'A-9'. The
succeeding flutes will be
made with the index pin in
the 'B' position, 'B-3', B-7'
and so on.

CAUTION!
NEVER START THE LATHE WITH
THE INDEX PIN ENGAGED IN THE SPINDLE.
