Need To Cut A Couple Of Timing Pulleys

[12bolts]

All sorts of ways to index on a lathe.

......I was hoping there was some neat trick for rigging my lathe without too much tooling. I wonder if I could just precisely mark the chuck perimeter and fashion some lock on the spindle.....

Saw blade indexer. How great is that! Nice one. I happen to have a few blades I can use.

cheers to you Phil. Thanks for the link.

Bicycle sprocket, plain gear, Carbide tipped angle grinder blade. Print out a divided circle and glue it to a disc So many choices
You can make a latch that locks into each tooth for positive engagement or just use a bent piece of wire for a pointer and then use a machinist's jack between the headstock and the chuck to provide a friction brake

Cheers Phil
