Indexer Operation 

The index feature allows you to cut evenly spaced features in a workpiece while keeping the Lathe 
headstock spindle locked; for example, when cutting flutes on a spindle blank with a router, while the 
spindle blank is secured within the Lathe centers. There are 24 index positions on the lathe. 

1.  To use the index pin (Figure 14), screw it farther into the headstock until it engages a hole in the 

spindle pulley. 

2.  Make your first flute cutting.  

3.  Unscrew the index pin just enough so that it frees the spindle. Carefully rotate the spindle to the next 

index position. (If you push inward on the index pin while rotating the spindle, you can feel when it tries 
to enter the next index position.)  

4.  Screw in the index pin completely and perform the second flute cutting.
