I guess i missed this article:
http://www.shopbotblog.com/index.php/2014/10/introducing-the-standalone-indexer-tool/
Anyone know the cost? I just got an agreement to do a line of rifle stocks for a well known company and in this article they talked about setting up a file to machine rifle stocks on this machine:
"On a standard tool each step would require careful tool and material setup. The piece would have to be picked up, rotated and, precisely repositioned after each cutting operation. This process takes time and invites error. With an indexer, a file can be made that performs all of these steps with no stops to reconfigure the workpiece.
I'd like to know how any file is made and what kind of hold-ends are made for this? I couldn't see in the pictures how it was being held on the head and tail since my stocks have carving that needs to be done on both.
