There was a fairly recent thread about making a taper attachment for a lathe. One of the questions for the contributor was how the index lines were made. I have searched all afternoon but just can't find it. I do remember that the lines were professional quality.
Perhaps someone remembers this better than I.

Finally found the thread "Myford TTA" in the Project Logs forum but the OP has stripped out all his posts???
