A Simple Indexing Head for A Lathe Topslide I have not come across this particular design anywhere before. It is very quick to use to carry out small milling or drilling jobs on a lathe with tooling in the headstock, i.e. Hexagons / Squares / Cross Holes / Keyways / Bolt Holes and a multitude of other tasks (e.g. square head bolts for a model 'Lion'). The basic concept is that the body of the indexer is twice the dimension of the centre height of the lathe above the topside (with the tool-post removed).
