As you will see in this video. https://youtu.be/SjcFpO51upw Carriage indexing can be just as accurate as long as you have a positive stop at the end of the cut as well as an absolute return point for the split-nut to drop back in.  Lots of options here so have fun. Mike OK On 10/9/2023 6:08

I have witnessed machine cut wood checkering and it is sharp and crisp just like hand cut. The cuts are not deep and the remaining peaks are very low pyramids that are surprisingly durable. Side cutting at very shallow helix angles might work. A 60° point on the router bit at even 24 LPI won't

Good morning Dan When I was going to school (machine trades) we would often use a knurling tool to make the checkering. I cant help but wondering if a multi edged cutter working from the side would help? Or something like my checkering tool, A cutter with a fine bearing to follow the last made

Curt, I'm not sure of what is meant by "indexing the carriage". I suspect it means to break the sync (release the lead screw follower) and move the carriage a pre-determined amount to get in position for the next cut. That's the method Legacy teaches for spiral starts. Yes, I suppose it

I never use pins and plates.  I use the gears and crank handle.  Have a look at the video I made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o  with a 2X gear set, you will be able to accomplish a 15" pitch.  Since we have a 4 tooth per inch lead screw, It will take 60 turns to complete that 15"

Hello Dan. Question? What pitch are you looking to make for these diamonds?I know everything is subjective to the dia. of the work piece. (example a 1/4" pitchlooks huge on a 1/2" spindle, but very small on a 4" spindle.) I was wondering, on an old checkering tool (gun stock) you have the file
