Hi Shawn , 

Why not make an indexing attachment   ,,,,,,,,,,, I have nearly two for my Myford lathe , 

A direct indexing attachment the uses the 60 T back gear bull wheel , this dose about 80 percent of what I need .





The other unfinished project uses the bull gear in a worm and wheel arrangement .



 









Which reminds me looking at above I used a spring tool /swan neck to do the screw cutting and worm on the spindle . Easy to make in an hour or so of work and uses old /bust centre drills re sharpened for cutters .





 Spindle some grade of SS


CUB Lathe cross slide screw EN24 (just because the bars was the right size for the job).




Cheers Rob
