At long last it's in the box. I put an acrylic lens over the display to protect it. I still need to put a mask behind the lens to hide the cut out, and trim the screws for the display and key pad, but it works and does what I want it to do.
I had this odd idea that a black case would look good. Maybe not.

Certainly looks good ENOUGH, anyway.
Very nice.
here's one with a pneumatic lock that uses a stack of belleville washers, not sure how to do that in the vertical position but maybe worth playing with.

Months later I've finally used my indexer! I needed to cut some teeth on a clock mainspring barrel. I roughed out a fixture using the continuous Jog mode and rotary table to mill away most of the material, and finished it to size on the lathe. Then back to the mill to divide and cut the new teeth (just 3 this time). I'm happy with the results. Saved a bunch of hand wheel turning and math work!
