I have added a photo of a 4" circular tilting table showing the typical division/segment indexing plate.
This was prior to my use of a ESI (thanks Richard UK) , photo showing making an indexing plate that fits on the?
back of the chuck, now redundant after the RELS was fitted to the lathe.
Also attached a .xls spreadsheet, may be useful for members with standard indexing plates.
The spreadsheet can be altered to suit different ratio circular tables.so as to give you the correct plate selection
and number of holes required.
Note the use of "soft jaws" holding the part.
Hope of interest.
