A couple of members asked me about a Spindexer. I've been super busy for work, but have managed to sneak a few hours in the workshop here and there and so I thought I'd put the process of fettling one up here as I go through it in case anyone else is interested too. Sorry a couple of photos were put up already in an unrelated post.
The first thing was to establish a reference I could work from, and eventually this would need to be the spindle, but for now I ground the top and bottom parallel and just tidied the Chinese workmanship up a tad.

Next was to tidy up the sides so they can become reference surfaces. I just noticed that I should have the thing in the vice the opposite way around, not important in this case, but thought I'd mention it.
