Nice work on the spindexer Bob. I too bought one S/H several years ago and used it maybe once. It suffers from the same shortcommings as yours. I used it to make a fitting once and I was quite shocked at the lack of regidity in the setup, even with light cuts. The barrel clamp looks like a really good addition.
Your centering scope creates a very clear image and lends itself to great photos. Is that the one you modified a few years back, with LED lighting?
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

One More Thing
I made a simple dovetail spigot to enable the use of the indexer on some of my tool and cutter grinder attachments and on the vice base I made several years ago....

Could possibly prove handy for delicate work on the mill and should be a useful enhancement for the indexer on the grinder.
