Tim, When all is said and done I like my crank handle indexing method

This method is so easy and accurate, once you are set, you can even shut
off the brain.

This topic is one that has so many option talked about and seen through to
the end with good results. When it's all said and done, my favorite method
is to use index plates with the correct number of holes for your job so
there is no chance of error. Any way, for those new to the group, here's a
little history of some of the things I've tried.

It looks like I have to update it one more time.

Another way to mark the the holes needed is to use "white out" that we
used to use when we needed to correct mistakes made with a typewriter.
It stands out real well and scraps off easily once the job is done. It
will not help you determine WHICH holes to mark like the templates
shown here. Usually the simplist answer is the best answer to most
problems. Great idea.

Hello All,
I just finished making a set of index pointers for Curt that should take
any possible error out of indexing the 24 hole index plate. As you know, you
can index 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 places. Curt's simple idea was to make
polygon shaped pointers that will point to the right holes. Using that idea,
I made a set for 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 indexes.
In use, you simply bolt them to the index plate and align them to a hole.
If the pin is not at the point of the central shape, you're in the wrong
hole! I think this is the absolute no brainer system. What do you all think?
