SPIN INDEXER IMPROVEMENTS: Flip It!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2020
- We take an inexpensive spin indexer (spindexer) and flip the spindle around to gain much needed clearance. Also install thrust bearings to making the spindle spin smoothly.

Not only was the machining amazing, but the filming and editing was spot on! Great content man!
The facing ability of that boring head is fabulash. Super cool!
It is! Thanks Bill
Thanks for sharing! Totaly doing this to my spindexer :)
Hi Stefan, thanks for motivation.
Look forward to your take on this spindexer project, Stefan! Nice project!
This comment is awesome lol
Tony Wilson as far as the career goes, there are only 3 requirements. 1) you have to enjoy it 2) you have to be good at it 3) has to make financial sense. You can’t build ALL your tools because you won’t have time to work on paying jobs. You can buy all top of the line tools because you’d go broke. You can learn to use inexpensive tools by knowing their weaknesses and work around them and that makes most sense. You can make good parts with a worn out machine. I checked and the bore is aligned with the face of the indexer. Thanks 👍🏼
If Stefan likes the idea, what else is there to say. 👌😀
Thanks for the DRO bug explainer. It's a good reminder to do a scratch pass to make sure the DRO is programmed as you intended.
Well done sir! You have nice equipment in your shop. I enjoy the manner and pace in which you narrate your videos.
Thank you🙏🏼
fantastic work & execution, i will improve my indexer in exact this way.
Many thanks to you.
Thank you for including the McMaster part numbers that is so very helpful. Much appreciated and you work is outstanding. Looking forward to seeing you make use of it. Thank you for the video too, stay safe!
Always fun to watch you work, you seem to like going the extra mile for quality. Thanks
Thanks Larry 🙏🏻
I don’t know how, after a year and a half of watching RUclips machinists, I just found your channel this evening! VERY well done, understandable, video and really liked things like the McMaster part numbers! You’ve got a new sub! I just received the exact same spindexer from Little Machine Shop today, and actually had to give it several attitude adjustments with a soft hammer to break the spinning part loose, then a good cleaning out was necessary. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
I was thinking about swaping ends on mine as well, thanks for sharing. Charles
Thanks for sharing this, I've had a spindexer for thirty years, never considered upgrading it, but I like the whole idea. Very well renditioned.
Brilliant! I have one of these spin indexers and you've given me lots of ideas.
Very nice work and love the attention to quality finishes. Thanks for the content.
Thank you so much
A new machining channel. Didn't even know about your channel until it showed up in my recommended today, I subscribed!
I like the mods you made to the spin indexer.
sweet tooth glad you found me, stick around 👍🏻
Very clever upgrade, lovely work and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Thank you
Very cool! I’ve been wanting to do this to my 5C indexer but figured I’d wait until somebody else showed me how to do it. Thank you!
Brandon Tscheschlog thanks Brandon!
Just watched this again. Excellent idea and execution!
You are the man!
Always enjoy watching your videos, look forwards to the next.
Thanks Gary 🙏🏻
As usual, an interesting and enjoyable video. Thanks Yuchol!
Gary Hall hi, thanks Gary 🙏🏻
Great modification,nice clean job. You do nice work and I enjoy your videos,please keep posting!
Gary Walters thanks Gary
Great video and build Yuchol. Very interesting and well done.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm saving this video for future reference. I have the Chinese spindex. And this seem a perfect project for it and me.Thanks Yuchol . Awesome job!
God bless
Stay safe
Thanks for the video. First time here. I really admire how clean and well kept everything in your shop is. You are more than a hobbyist.
Danny L thanks. I clean up for every project so the viewers don’t get distracted. A good motivation
Great video including the DRO detour. One never stops learning, but thanks for sharing that.
I learn a lot through all my mistakes
Really high quality video. Thank you for sharing all the detail and even the McMaster Carr part numbers. I've subscribed and also hit the bell.
Thanks!
Thanks for another great video Yuchol! Hope your keeping well.
Cheers from Canada
Thanks you, we are well 🙏🏼
Really Nice Project Yuchol, Very Well Done as Always!
Michael Rosenlof thanks Michael as always!
Great work Yuchol. It looks slick!
Also that new mic sounds great and I reckon it will work well with your workflow
Thanks Tommy. It was rough going with the new mic. Lost some footages because I didn’t use it properly. So much learning...
beautiful work yuchol - very nice design approach
Very sweet modification. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks Bill 🙏🏻
Great job back in the early eighties I was a tool maker in a machine shop and I tried to talk the boss into buying a suburban spin indexed but he didn't want to spend the money so he bought me a new phase 2 to replace the old one back then I think they were 30 dollars I always wanted to put tapered roller bearings in each end of the old one but never did a d never thought of flipping the spindle around all the times fighting with the guard on the surface grinder that was the best idea of this build if anyone else has ever used one then you know how nice a simple flip will be I'm retired now but still have a Cincinnati tool grinder lathe and mill now I'm going to have a flipped spin indexed thanks you do good work
Wow what a great idea. Thanks I would have never thought great job.
Sam Pitts thanks Sam
Nice Work, that really did come out nice. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Really interesting project. You do a very good job!
Excellent Video. Well presented. Keep up the good work
Great content. I just found your channel and now I'm subbed. Looking forward to more of your videos!
That is an excellent overhaul of that unit. Some form of spin indexer is on the wants list here but there have been a few other things that were higher on the "available at a good price" list, lol. If/when one happens here I will definitely be reversing the spindle like you did, that was an awesome idea.
Thanks Everett.
Such a well done video, you covered all that needed to be covered. Well done and nice music, 👍👍👍👍
Great job , nice idea!
Interesting set of operations. I have never made a thrust bearing so that was especially interesting to me
For a hobby you have a very nice shop and the talent to match. Great Video
Thanks Bill!
Great bit of craftsmanship. I am certain the spindexer is greatly improved. I have had one of those for a couple of years and I have not yet used it for anything.
Thanks Harold!
Very clean. Good job
Very nicely done!
Well thought out and nice craftsmanship.
Thanks!
This is awesome! Great work.
Almost Machining thanks so much!
Great video, great work.
Nice work. Well thought out.
First time viewer, now subscriber. Loved the video
GeckoProductions thanks and welcome!
Very good idea and great work. Well done!
Thanks George
Great job i learned a lot about the way the hole piece is made. I like the way you and then disassembled everything back together. Perfect job explaining how you where going to do each machining step. I have a Harbor freight big mill and a Grizzly G602 Lathe. I like and Subscribed to your channel. Look forward to seeing different projects on your new Sin Indexer. God Bless and thank you.
Thanks for your kind words, enjoy 🙏🏼
Good idea reversing it👍
Just happened to show up in my recommended - I've got a new machining channel! :)
Welcome!
That's a nice project. Lots of different machining operations and lots of thinking.
Yes, my brain hurt 😭
Nice work there. Mine had a bunch of slop in the spindle to housing so I had to split it and sighted the bore with 3 cap screws and rehone it. I haven’t fitted thrust washers yet so thanks very much for the listed part numbers 🙏
Thank you!
I love you video...There is no time lost fixing things. Thanks
MultiChaga thank you
That's a great mod, I need a spindexer and will be doing the same when I get one.
Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks!
I love the idea of adding a thrust bearing!
Thanks Paul
Thanks for sharing this great idea.
Great project. Really great video. Well done.
Thanks John!
Very nice job !! thanks for sharing !
Thank you 🙏🏻
Really nice work! Thank you!
You had my head spinning Yuchol!
Very tidy update - well done.
Thanks Dan,
Definitely an improvement Yuchol. Trying to figure out how to sharpen endmills on my surface grinder. Well done👍👍👍
Flathead Ron's Garage thanks Ron!
projects breed projects one never know till he gets into a simple project how much you can learn. keep up the good work
So true, thanks
Amazing video my friend! Im just about to order one of these, and your video popped up. Perfect timing!
Thanks, glad it helps 👍🏼
.... ah good to hear the google spy is keeping tabs......
Kinda creepy isn't it... LOL
Hey Yuchol thanks for sharing. Great little mod and upgrade.
Thanks Graham
Thanks for letting us know the oem front is lathe turned and the most accurate to work from. I will clean the sides down and be happier now. Peace from minnesota! More vids!
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this
Thanks Ernie
That just seems so much better. You'd think they'd build it that way in the first place 🤔. Great video, Yuchol, thanks for sharing 👍😁👍
I know, thanks
I have used these for years and the first thing I always do with disapointment is get it on the surface plate and find the center height and then the true plane and that is where the disapoinment comes in. I bought a new one and before I can trust it I know the base has to be ground in to the true plane .
First rate job on the spindexer. Excellent video.
Thank you
Hi Yuchol. Just came across your channel and want to tell you how much I enjoy it!
You give good concise information and I like the dry humour - Just subscribed and looking forward to your future videos.
Rod
Thanks Rod 😁
Awesome job
nice job, very well explained. I'll have fix mine like that.
love the modification great work !
Thanks Jeffrey!
@@woodscreekworkshop9939 you are welcome
Im currently building a modified stepper controlled version of this, based on the same 5C index, thanks for the informative video!
Good luck!👍🏻
Oil hole... I like the results solving a design flaw, cool. I did modify my spin indexer works much better thanks for the idea and video. Cheers!
Great video Sir!! What a cool mod too. I think I see this in my future some day too. Thanks!
Thanks Jason!
Good job, and very well done. Thank you
Thanks Keith 🙏🏼
Great job on the refresh. Just found you today. Subscribed. Jerry.
Thank you
Well done 👍
Nice job. I will have to add this to the one I am working on.
Thanks Mark
Very clever! thanks for sharing, I'm doing this!!
Thanks Darren
Your work looks good.
I machined slots for removable tendons on mine to allow quick “ clocking” to the table of my milling machine, for those quick little jobs. Tenons a snug fit the Tee slots.
That’s certainly a better option to go for compared to the price you mentioned for a fancy one, great job Yuchol 👌🏼👍
Thanks Matty
Excellent job….👍
Very nice work!
Thanks Larry
Just noticed I forgot to comment....Great Job !
Yuchol, love your videos! Especially this one! Probably going to do something very similar. For the dust cover, I will likely make it where the o-ring holds it in place, not a set screw. Less friction in use and I think you could make it slightly smaller in diameter.
Thank you 👍🏼
Been a professional machinist for 40 years and in all that time I have refused to use the bolt circle function. For one, if you are doing an even number of holes the routine does not take advantage of the symmetry to minimise table movements and secondly, the only time I ever used the function like you I junked the part. I like to go back to basics and use simple trig to calculate coordinates. For a mill the Y offset is given by radius x sin of the hole's angular position and the X offset is given by radius x cos of the hole's angular position, assuming the center is 0,0. Simply apply any offset from your work piece origin to the calculated hole coordinates. Using this approach you can take advantage of the symmetry to firstly minimise the number of calculations and secondly minimise table movements.
As for the spin indexer If you were to cut a vee way along with a round bar screwed to the base or use a key way and key into the base you could, in conjunction with the tee slots of the machine table eliminate the need to align the fixture for 90% of work pieces.
Always interesting.
Yes, I like the video. Great job. All I need it the time.
Understandable
Looks like great improvements - might need to upgrade mine as well. It's currently being used as a de-burring tool... Thanks for sharing! - Tom Z
Thanks Tom!
good job, I don't have a spindexer, yet, but I'm looking for one now.
Thanks James
You done a great job on your build back about 20 years or more ago I was a tool maker used a spin fixture just like yours think it was a phase 3 anyway all I did was to buy a thrust bearing for both sides instead of one it was available off the shelf no machining but I did not think about flipping it my boss was already complaining that I took it apart and bought 10 dollars worth of upgrades to it I was wondering why you didn't put a bearing on the rear I remember it making a big difference been going to do a better job on mine now that I'm retired was going to machine both sides for a tapered roller bearing never got around to looking for the bearings but your way would be good but I prefer a bearing on each end nice job
I see this is a year old. Very nice, useful project. The extra clerence will make using the indexer much easier especialy while cutting indexed bevels. I will be adding you to my viewing. Glad i found your channel.
Thanks Gary
great job, thanks for sharing! Stay well..
Thanks, you too!
