    My ole pappy has this wood lathe that is about 4 feet long has a new motor on it and everything, it is kinda old, but could a wood lathe be turned into an indexer easily?

    It depends on what you call easy... a number of botters have done just that! Browse the indexer section. You won't be needing that new motor however...

    go back to the very first pages of the indexer section, there were several guys who have posted pictures of thewir setups they made.
