How did you make the index plate without using an indexer?

 

[Mark_f]

The index plate was made using a rotary table ( maybe that what you meant by indexer?). Mine positions (supposedly ) within seconds of a degree which is more accurate than I can drill on the drill press. To keep the holes as precise as possible they have to be started with a center drill , then the bit changed to a drill one size smaller than the desired size , then finished drilled to size with a precision ground drill bit. ( or you could ream them). This is what takes so long making that plate.
