Make sure you throw in a G254 code after indexing the B and the C axes, before moving to your X and Y positions.
Also, nice safety glasses... safety third!

Bought a couple of tools this week. Saw this and thought it could be handy. Price is cheap enough. Got it and it works fine. I think it will be very handy at times.

Have a problem with my truck. ABS, TC and Stability light came on. As much as I don't want to work on it my cheapness took control. Needed a way to figure things out. Got a scanner. Pretty cool. Does a lot more than the last one I use in 2004. Price not horrible. Seems to work well. Told me which wheel has the problem. Also could see real time data on all 4 wheels at the same time.

Yeah, it's like one of those with a built on chair the operator rides on as it turns
Well I never.... 
Think of the pens you could turn on that!
Not bad, but it wouldn't flatten a warp (too short). My sons flattened a good .008" warp on a 4-cyl aluminum head on a large sheet of glass on which we had glued emery cloth. The glass was laid on a very flat countertop. The head was pushed back and forth until it was flat. Took some muscle to do that!Well I never....
I've done many a head that way. It works.
Just gotta do wiring now. I just got a bead roller, and since it's a 2 man job unless it's powered, I'm making mine powered. $40 trailer winch from HF, took it apart, modified the drum to fit where the handle would, used the base to mount it to the roller with some 1" square tube I had sitting around.
Going to wire it up with a 30a 12v power supply and a dc motor speed controller with foward/reverse. With a foot pedal this should work for me.

It's all wired up now and working. Under $100 to convert the bead roller to be powered.
Picked up a new tool today. I got lucky and saw it on marketplace minutes after it was posted. Now I don't have to farm out my cylinders. This boring bar came with all the accessories too.
Test cut on a bad XR200 cylinder. I'll get some insert tooling for it, but it cuts true.

This old indexer? Thing came to me in a lot of stuff I recently purchased. It has 24 positions. I image it could be used for tool grinding. Does anybody else have any ideas what it’s for? Is the there any value in it?
Thanks

What would the 24 positions be? Does it swivel once mounted on a track to 24angles? Or height? Or chuck general location?
Closest thing I found is an ad from 1907 calling it a single dial index centre. Couldn't read the ad though as it was posted on practical machinist and I got booted from there for asking about an atlas lathe.

It’s one shaft straight through on bearings. The chuck rotates to 24 positions locked in by the spring loaded lever.
The base of it is designed to be bolted onto a T-slot mill bed.
360 divided by 24 equals 15° increments
