Nice looking setup for numbering is that held in the spin indexer and the rest made up of 123 or 456 blocks? Whatever it is a nice looking piece you have lots of patience for the graduations and numbers, my problem is my time is worth too much to me for something I can buy quite reasonable. I have 2 rotary tables a 10 inch that I imported myself plus a 3 inch I bought from one of the cdn tool suppliers when they had them on sale for $49.00. It is very small but I am sure it's adequate for small parts. tom

Claude,
Those T-slots turned out very nice. Your project is coming along nicely. Keep the pictures coming!

I love the "chamfer" on the upper edge of the slots Claude, did you use a countersink for them?
I always (almost) give a touch of the countersink to holes I drill, especially if they are going to be tapped.

I also noticed that and was wondering how you accomplished it on the curved portion.

I don't know what Claude used, but I do a lot of my (45°) chamfering with 90° drill point end mills.

That's what I was thinking he probably did Willie. I figured that is how I would do it and it would even get the rounded part.
