Thread: How do you use the indexing jig?

I know you said you have a chuck with indexing this is a face plate or index plate which shows how the indexing is located. What you need is the bracket and leaver and pin to suit see this link

Make one of these: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/index-jig-mc900-87645

Thanks for posting the suggestions. I like the bracket solution as I can pick up something fairly strong to do the trick and at a decent price. Not sure of the second option would work for me, but have to admire the clever design

You could go up market with http://www.vermec.com/vermec-lathe-accessories.html

Not wrong about it being upmarket!

Nice stuff there 😀

How are these supposed to be used?

Thanks,

what brand of chuck? as the indexing on the chuck can be different

I picked up a GPW deluxe set, which is a huge improvement over the original Carbatec 80's era finger mincer that my lathe came with.
