I used a horizontal rotary table on the mill with a ground HSS tool in the spindle to cut the dial graduation lines.??
The bull gear on my Atlas is one that has the indexing holes, but it was easier done on the mill.
I rigged up a jig on the mill table to stamp the numbers.
HTH,? Bill
Bill, Good job on the stops and indicator holder.? I saw those at Tall Grass.? Do you have an indexer or did you rig something on the lathe? I like the idea of having a mounting stud for your dial.? I might rob that idea.? Maybe I'll hang the dial off the side so that it hits a spot on the carriage that is further out. Thanks for the pics.
