How do I centre the tool/scriber in the tool post do that I can move the cross slide to scribe the circle for the mounting holes? To index for the 3 hole positions, will the 3 jaws if the chuck be sufficient to act as positional stops? I don't have any means to index the spindle.
Regards,
Wong
May be I am using the wrong words -pair of scriber's. Their real name is dividers, much like a pair of compass - only both ends have a point
Sorry Wong may have confused you a little here, so there is no need to index on the lathe or to put a scriber in the tool post.
Use the divider's as you would a pair of compass
