Do you feel you will ever need more holes on each set of rings? I saw one with rings of 192 holes, then 144 holes, then 120 holes, then 90, 72 and 48 holes. I am making my own and figured I would add a few more rings for 24, and 18 holes. Is that just overkill?
There's always that balance to make, Geoff.....I've used it three times now, so each go has cost me about £16.....after 10 goes, each go will have been a £5........if I make a hundred, then 50p a go works out nicely.......do I understand economics?????
Hi Ed - I'm not sure there is.....Olivers Woodturning in the UK might ship to the US but it might make it economically unviable... www.oliverswoodturning.co.uk/product/paul-howard-fluting-jig-index-system/
Good video, but I would expect more than 60 holes as a woodturner that does a lot of open segmented work, the most you can do is 30 segments per ring, why can us British wood turner's not have what the Americans can get.
Hi Stewart, I have one of these and this is was a very opportune video for me.
Take care Stewart.
Cheers, Huw
Glad it helped, Huw! It's really solid in use - great bit of kit!

I don't think so unless I was using a very fine cutter on a very wide rim....
Brill vid. One coming Friday from Olivers
Cheers! I must do some more with mine soon!
Interesting quick demo Stewart, did consider, but price put me off versus how many times I might use it. Geoff

Good to know.

Is there is supplier for this indexing jig in the USA?

I've found 60 holes plenty for me but I don't use a very small diameter cutter...
