How I Made My Own Index Driver for Wheel & Pinion Cutting

This video accompanies the written instructions on https://imakewatches.com detailing how to make your own CNC index driver. Index drivers turn the headstock of lathes to fixed positions and are used for machining wheels, pinions, gears, watch crowns, and anything that requires sequential milling operations around the exterior of a circular or semicircular workpiece.

The total parts cost for this project is under US$ 125.
