Hi i wonder if any one knows of a videos out there regarding indexing or dividing plates. I recently got a vertex rotary table and it came with dividing plates. I would love to learn how to use them but the instructions in warcos manual are poor at best. I learn best watching over ready anyway. Hope some one can help

Thanks Mick

Search youtube : look down the list for mrpete222 , thatlazymachinists and machiningmoments .

These three channels do videos on dividing and gear cutting – thatlazymachinists would be my first choice , his videos are excellent !

The workshop practice series of books Has a title " dividing " .

I am surprised. I went to goggle video and keyed in 'Using index plate on rotary table'. First two hits were u-toob demos making seven flats. Explained how and gave clear reasons why. I dare to say there wrre more of similar ilk, had I looked further than those first two.
