ABSTRACT:
An indexing and rotational feed control apparatus for a rotationally mounted spindle holding a work piece includes an indexing housing connected to the spindle and carrying an indexing finger is rotatably mounted relative to an indexing plate such that rotation of the indexing wheel provides sequential releasably fixed rotation of the spindle between angularly indexed positions. The indexing plate is connected to a shaft which in turn is connected to a rotary actuator such that rotation of the actuator permits precise rotation of the indexing wheel and indexing housing in either direction without disturbing the releasably fixed indexed position between the spindle and indexing wheel as set by the releasably fixed engagement between the indexing finger and the indexing wheel.
