Poor Man's Keyway Slotter
Rob.Wilson:
Hi Ralph
You are correct , i use the bull wheel on the lathe to do basic indexing
I am planning on making an indexer that fits the bull wheel , witch uses index plates so i have a better range of divisions
The problem with using the slotter and R/T mounted to the mill ,is there is no way of putting a cut on , when mounted on the lathe cross slide ,you use the cross slide feed to put a cut on . and using the dials to get to the correct depth
What lathe do you have ?
You could make up a mandrel to fit the rear of the spindle , and use change wheels to do the indexing .
Cheers Rob

Ahh.... Forgot about the advancing :doh:
I've got a 9x20 chinese job, I get what your saying about the mandrel. Shouldn't be too hard now that you say it... I had much more complex things in mind!
No bull wheel to play with, well not like yours. I'll get it figured now, with your suggestion.... See, we all help each other see the wood (hope that translates ok! :lol: )
That handle must me 18" long!! I can see another back burner project :dremel:
Cheers,
Ralph.
