There's not a lot of pressure on the knob since it's just used to keep the leafs from flopping around when using them and when on the shelf. Ed

I made this spin indexer tailstock for my, well, spin indexer.
 It was a fun project. http://www.metalworkingfun.com/thread-2212.html The first picture is not of my spin indexer tail stock but of the original designers version. It showed me what it should look like when I got mine done. I made a few changes to the design when I made mine. Ed Thanks given by: aRM

The knobs for the step blocks are made of one piece of brass. Maybe that decorative circle on the top is fooling you into thinking it's a two-piece part. I put that in with a 'V' shaped tool bit just for decoration. Ed
