Nice one, something else to make.

Nice idea.....am thinking of making one that uses my lathe change gears. That way I can have different divisions available.

Nice implementation. And, since you used a helical cut gear, if you could make an adjustment to move the indexing pin along the gear axis you could get any increment between the 2 degree steps as well.

LOL! "Inexpressive" got my attention! I presume you meant inexpensive? Don't you just love spell check flubs?

/me makes a mad dash out into the shop to dig through a box of gears looking for a 60T....
Yet another addition to the 'Make It' list. Great idea.

Nice work.

Do you employ some form of live tooling that requires indexing?
