Indexing

Indexing on a lathe is typically used for workpiece layout and other auxiliary operations that require equal distances around the workpiece circumfer- ence, such as clock faces or inlays.

By applying the spindle lock into one of the 24 holes in the spindle, the workpiece can be posi- tioned to one of 24 equal points that are 15° degrees apart.

For special sequencing of positions, each spindle position has its own number, which can be viewed through the viewing window, as shown in Figure 25, on the outboard side of the headstock.

NOTICE

Always disconnect the lathe from power before using the spindle lock feature. Never resume turning operations without making sure that the spindle lock is disengaged and the spindle turns freely by hand. Otherwise machine damage could result.
