I see that screw is a difficult one to solve no room to mount a coil spring 
loaded pin perhaps one like this might fit 

If there is enough room.

Bill, I put the screw in from the outside to be able to use a screw driver 
better.  I hate slotted screws, so it will be replaced by a flat head hex 
machine screw.  I couldn't think of how to hold this tiny thing, so I threaded 
the hole in the axis arm and pass the screw through the SIG to thread into the 
arm. This keeps the clearance acceptable and the connection tight.  I've just 
considered the case of moving the carriage on a straight, non-spiral cut and 
how to hold the index with the axis.  With the gears disengaged, the original 
indexing pin can be used as normal as long as the arm remains pinned to the 
SiG.  It's in the middle of some test runs and the first three passes of 8 
worked just fine. It really doesn't take much time to move the pin (screw) to 
the next index, but it is not as fast as a tapered pin like the original. It 
will get better with the socket head screw.  I'm open to ideas.

 

I have completed the spoon bowl and put the first coat of oil on it today.  
It's a looker alright. A couple more coats and a polish (wax) will be the 
makeup for a photo in a couple days.

The test run is trying to salvage the little spoon spiral that I buggered up 
using the "old" methods.

 Dan I thought you might have put your indexing screw in from the back instead 
of from the front, having a point on the end of the screw might help speed up 
your indexing time . I can see how your idea works without a video, it is a 
different way of indexing the starts on a spiral the idea is very similar to 
curts design I can see how it will make indexing easier  and more simple for 
you as curts one did for him.

I have done the gauge block method for so long and so many times now I find it 
more easy for me, but in the end what ever method each user uses as long as 
they are comfortable with it is the important thing  as curt says there a many 
ways to skin a cat and when the end result is a perfect spiral each way is all 
good

Keep those good inventive ideas coming Dan I love legacy mill mods.

I did post a link to a very short video 
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/15pIQani7juLUeyE8zVCWRzfkDm47Uou3/view?usp=sharing>
  about the index arm movement.  I'm not set up for video making.  The pictures 
tell the whole story pretty well, but I'll see about getting enough to show a 
couple starts.  I'm salvaging the buggered up small spoon so that might be a 
good candidate tomorrow.

Hey Dan,

 

Thats super cool when a plan comes together. Can you do a short video and post 
it as well so we

can all get a little better hand on how it all works and come together?

The final piece has been made and installed.  I am thrilled that FINALLY, one 
of my ideas has worked out!  And it does work reliably.  The weak part of the 
design is the time consumed to change the pin because it threads into the bar 
on the other side of the SIG, though it is not bad. I used a slotted machine 
screw because that is what I had with a taper, but I am planning to replace 
that with a flat head socket screw for easier wrench work and easier to insert 
into next hole.

Subject: First LOM twist

 

Hi guys.  I'm still riding a high of successfully cutting my first involute 
spur gear for one of my machines.  

 

So, riding that high, I decided to do some wood turnng. Utensils came to mind, 
so very soon a couple of spoon blanks were on the LOM for another first...the 
first twists cut on the REVO.  Used a straight 1/2" up cut spiral bit against 
the side. Six starts.  Not much to look at for design and the handle is much to 
large, but the pear wood cuts beautifully.  Another smaller spoon is on its 
way.  

 

Now to carve the bowl.  This stuff is HARD.
