INDEXING
The spindle pulley contains 36 equalty spaced ho_es. The
index pin engages with these holes to keep the spindle
from turning while you put a mark on the workpiece.
For example: To focate the position of six spokes in a
wheel:
1. Pult the index pin outward and turn it so that the small
cross pin slips into the slot, This will allow the index
pin to engage in one of the holes in the pulley and pre-
vent the spindle from turning_
2, Adjust the tool rest approximately at the centeriine
and make a mark.
3. Pull out the index pin and slowly rotate the workpiece
until the pin slides into the next hole in the pulley.
4. Do th is six times and put the next mark on the work-
piece, The two marks will be spaced 60 ° apart, Con-
tinue this operation until six spokes are marked 60 °
apart.
5, Spindle turnings can be divided in the same manner,
