The system consists of a 10 inch*, extensively laser engraved with index lines every 5 degrees and degree marks every 15 degrees, anodized aluminum plate with the appropriate ID for your spindle, with three concentric rows of indexing holes. There are three rows of indexing holes spaced 2 1/2, 3 & 4 degrees apart, (3, 4 & 5 degrees apart for WisXL-1.25 model only). This combination allows the user to adjust for virtually any position around the circumference of your turning! Included is a heavy aluminum base with 2 very, very strong, 3/4 inch diameter "rare-earth" magnets to secure the bracket to your cast iron/steel bed ways, (base also has a threaded 1/4 X 20 tpi hole for those who wish to attach it more permanently to your lathe or to a wooden jig),  a "dog point" indexing screw and appropriate threaded jam nut to secure the indexing plate on your spindle. You may also secure the plate to the spindle with your lathe's chuck or faceplate. The bracket  is easily removed when not using the index plate.

The large indexing plates are now available separately for $46.99 so you don't need to purchase two complete systems to outfit multiple lathes with different sized spindles! See "purchasing" pages.

Customize your turnings quickly and easily just by aligning the indexing screw to any hole you choose and your ink, paint, router or carving tools add your personal artistic touch to your work!

*actual diameter is 9.94 inches  ***JET JWL-1236/1442 lathe's motor position will not allow the use of our large indexing system unless placed in the outboard side*** Inquire about a custom outboard system.
