Indexing the Spindle
Indexing System
Do not turn the machine on with the
indexing or spindle lock engaged.
Indexing is a method of splitting 360 degrees into X parts. It is very
useful to have for forming spirals, channels, or notches on a work
piece.
·
The spindle has 3 sets of indexing holes 14 / 36 / 48.
·
The selection plunger is located at the end of the head stock.
·
To move between the 3 sets of holes, loosen the clamp knobs and
slide the indexing plunger assembly to align with the selected hole
set.
·
Clamp in position with the clamp knobs.
·
Try the plunger in a few different holes to check that it inserts and
removes smoothly.
·
The indexing plunger is spring loaded and this is used only to
temporarily align the plunger in the selected hole.
·
To fix the plunger in a selected hole, it must be attached to the
housing by screwing into the clamped position.
·
There is a hole selection indicator that allows you to view which
hole in a selected hole set has been selected.
