Plans for spin indexer?

As Andrew mentioned I bought one for about £30 + tax in the UK on sale at J&L and it has been fine. I tightened up some screws and most importantly milled the sides of the base parallel to the spindle axis as they were unmachined, that allows me to drop a bar into the Bridgeport T-slot and place the spin indexer against it for a quick reference before clamping down. For what they cost I wouldn't consider making one.

Sounds interesting. Dropbox 'er, won't you, Al?

Would anyone by any chance have a set of plans for a home-built spin indexer?

Thanks,

Al

I bet there are six articles with various flavors of indexing over the years in Home Shop Machinist. I realize you probably don't have all the issues of that magazine back to 1982 when they started, but there sure are a lot of plans that have been presented there in the last 25 years.

The November - December issue of Model Engine Builder has plans for an indexer but that isn't free.

Thanks, everyone, for your replies.

I'll keep my eyes open for back-issues of those magazines :)

Cheers,

Al

Good luck - people are pretty tight with those backissues. Estate sales are a good bet, if that tells you anything ;)
