This picture shows how the table brake is assembled. It pushes against the table spindle land above the worm wheel.

This is how I cut the divisions using the bed of my lathe. I messed up on the first try so I cut them off and had another go.
360 marks of different lengths was quite a job but I only made a couple of minor oops.

After a little bit of sanding than a coat of paint. (wife's finger nail polish)

This is the result.

They are not all perfect but they turned out better than I had hoped.
I don't think I will try to number them now as that never turns out very well for me and I am not sure it is needed.
The long lines are 90 degrees apart and the next shorter ones are every 5 degrees. It should be easy enough to figure out.

Thanks for the likes everyone and thanks for looking.

great work.
Is nail polish the recommended material for colouring the marking

I don't think it is recommended but it does work and the wife didn't mind.

Thanks

Very impressive project all around Ray. I would be delighted with an outcome like that, one big att'a boy, on a job well done. Cheers, Mike

Thank you brino

The box cost me more than the table did.
Thanks all

A very impressive project, great attention to detail, and beautifully finished. I can only aspire to such quality work.
