Nice going Bob


You planning on doing a bit indexing in the lathe ?

What other attachments will you be making for the lathe to go with your indexer ?

Nice Bob,

someday I'll have enough confidence to at least consider altering my machine.

This is a very good mod
It is so simple (once you have seen it done)
Well done Bob
It will make fast indexing easy
