Indexing Collet Fixtures
Used with a 5C collet (sold separately), these fixtures rotate round, hex, or square workpieces up to 1 1/8" diameter in precise increments. Also known as spindexers or punch formers, they are commonly used to drill holes into cylindrical parts, grind punches into precision shapes, and sharpen drill bits and end mills. To ensure accurate rotation, spindles are precision ground. Mount fixtures to a machine table for horizontal orientation or an angle plate for vertical. A through-hole accommodates long workpieces.
Fixtures with 1° index increments have an indexing plate with 36 holes for rotating in 10° steps and 10 additional holes for 1° refinements. Fixtures with 15° index increments have 24 locking positions.
Rotary Angle Indexers
Transform your machine vise into an indexing system in seconds. These indexers help you position round workpieces at precise, repeatable angles for machining flats, hexes, and key slots. Slide them onto the end of a workpiece and secure with the set screw. These indexers attach directly to your workpiece, so you can move them from setup to setup without losing your reference point. These indexers are etched with graduation marks up to 360° so you can line up your workpiece with a machinist square. A hex, square, and octagon are cut into the face, so you don’t need to check the graduations for 45°, 60°, or 90° increments.
