When a bought My Woodchuck it came with two extra indexing plates one has 
36 holes and the other 40 holes They both fit the Revo Spindle, They do not 
have sharp teeth or any in fact. Saves me getting any more scratches on my 
delicate skin !!
They also fit a little tighter on the Spindle than the Standard gear. Gives 
more choices of settings. One lives and learns
I wonder how Mike would index all the different holes
