Hi Guys, would anyone happen to know how many degrees apart the 10 holes are on the vernier plate of a spin indexer? The outer plate has the 36 holes at 10 degrees apart. the vernier plate has the 10 holes numbered 0 - 9. I want to be able to index 360 degrees every degree. I cant wrap my head around the math. thanks Mark |

One If you put the pin in hole 1 you indexed 1 deg 2 = 2 deg, 3 =3 deg, ------------ 9 = 9 deg back to zero and your on 10 deg. Hope this helps Stew |

Mark, Unless I have missed something critical here, my "spin indexer" has normal 10° increment indexes on the primary index ring and 1° increment indexes on the vernier index ring. Thus, I start at the 0° position and move to the (say) 20° position -- and then place my index pin in the (say) 5° vernier hole, remove my primary index pin, and rotate the indexer until the vernier pin drops into the next hole. I have now moved 25° from my initial position. Your 0° vernier hole should index when the primary index pin is in any of the 10° increments. My "spin indexer" is old enough that it has 11 holes on the vernier (0°-10° for double-checking). It is a shop-made tool given to me by a retiring machinist back in the 1960's. I know that I have used commercial "spin indexers," but my fingers know my own tool best. |

Manual here that applies to pretty much all the similar spindexers. http://www.neme-s.org/Shaper%20Books/Odds%20and%20ends/Spin%20Indexer%20Instructions%20Phase%20II.pdf |
