Hi all
This post is aimed at anyone who has a Vicmark VM90 or VM100 chuck running on a Hafco WL18 or a MC900 lathe.
Attached is a photo of an indexing jig I made for mine, which I am offering to anyone who wants it for the cost of the postage (now that I have got my new Nova 3000 up and running :) ).
The jig clamps down to the bed under the chuck, and a pointed bolt with a locking wingnut screws up to engage in one of the indexing holes around the outside edge of the chuck. It's obviously slower than using a built-in indexing system, but it works.
I will post it in a padded post bag or a small box if I can find one. I would expect postage to the East Coast to be about $8, SA, NT & the west a little more.
If you are interested, send me a PM and I will send you my bank details. First PM in gets it.
cheers,
Colin
