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 inserting the indexing pin into one of the three outer indexes of the Model G0632 spindle hous- ing and engaging one of the eight inner indexes in the spindle, the workpiece can be positioned to one of 24 equal points (see Figure 33).

To use the indexing feature, place the indexing pin into one of the indexing holes in the headstock as shown in Figure 34. This will hold the spindle and workpiece at the desired indexed position.

Always disconnect the lathe from power before using the indexing feature of this lathe. Do NOT start the lathe with the index- ing pin inserted into the spindle; otherwise property damage and personal injury could result.
