I don't have any build plans for the indexer. I documented my build on the ShopBot website.

Here are a couple of youtube videos of cuts on the indexer. Designed and toolpathed with Aspire software.

Re: Has anyone built a standalone lathe (indexer)
Great work on your stand alone 4th axis machine Stan.
Thanks for the videos.
That is the best way of zeroing the Z axis. IMO.
I am a strong believer that there are consistent advantages to using the centre of rotation as the Z axis origin.

It would be nice if someone would come up with some plans or drawing for a Standalone Lathe (Indexer).
