Alisam's
accessory is a complete "universal" system for
indexing on most 7 to 12 inch wood lathes!
The
system consists of a 7 inch, laser engraved, anodized aluminum
plate with a 1 inch center ID spindle hole (or 3/4 inch
depending on the model), and 2 concentric rows of indexing
holes. The outer row of 72 holes are spaced 5 degrees apart
and the next row of 60 holes are 6 degrees apart. This
combination allows the user to adjust for virtually any
position around the circumference of your turning!
Included
is a custom, heavy aluminum angle bracket with 2 very strong,
"rare-earth" magnets to secure the bracket to
your cast iron/steel bed ways (or use a clamp to position
bracket where needed to fit your lathe), a "dog point"
indexing screw and a 1 inch x 8 tpi threaded jam nut (or
3/4 inch x 16 tpi jam nut depending on the model), 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 place.
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!
