niwotwill Posted July 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2021 I bought a used Sherline lathe and then an acquaintance gave me this tool which I have no idea what it is or how to use it? I'd love to hear any comments.

thibaultron Posted July 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2021 Looks like an indexing setup. Place a piece between the centers, and cut X number of flats, or drill X number of equally spaced holes around the circumference. Used with the milling machine. For example make a round bar, into a hex bar, then drilling a hole centered on each face, Drilling four holes in a mast, at 90 degres apart, etc. BenD, Canute, Bob Cleek and 3 others 6 Quote Ron Thibault Shipjack Carrie Price from Pyro kit, with upgraded detailing and history.
