Finally "finished"

Here is the scribing setup. I have the backing plate on this chuck marked in 100 divisions for easy indexing.

This is the jig I made to stamp the numbers

Here are the finished dials.

I like the stamping jig. Itseems to follow the KISS principal.
 
Sweet! Where do those drive belts come from? I've seen them on a few machines...

Outstanding work on the dials! Are those Aluminum?
 
Details, details.....

It looks like you have two lathes.... One is blue and has the old style Zamak compound slide. See first photo in post #31 showing how you scribed the dials.
 
The belts are from Harbor Freight.

Yes the dials are Aluminum. Not sure what variety as they used to be something else.

Yes I have 2 lathes. An old style 10-30 for which there should be a thread on it's rebuild here somewhere and a newer 10-f.
It was invaluable having one working while rebuilding the other. When I did the first one it had a lot of broken and missing pieces. I made a couple rough parts on my wood lathe just to get it spinning and then made some of its own parts as it's abilities increased.
