Differential and Angular Indexing Guide

This document provides examples for practicing differential and angular indexing using gear ratios and hole patterns in plates. It lists gear ratios and corresponding hole numbers that can be used to calculate fractional turns for different numbers of divisions or angles. For example, with a 40:1 gear ratio and 15 divisions, the fraction would be 2/3 turn which could be achieved using 18 holes in a 27-hole plate or 24 holes in a 36-hole plate.

12 90:1 22, 24, 26, 28, 30


27 90:1 20, 21, 23, 25, 27
50 90:1 30, 33, 36, 38, 40
40 90:1 16, 18, 19, 21, 24
44 90:1 22, 24, 26, 28, 30

These examples can be used for practicing both Differential and Angular indexing. Simply use
the number in the first column as either the number of divisions being made or the angle being moved,
then make your fraction accordingly. Using the first row as an example, if you want 15 divisions, the
fraction would be:

40 10 2
=2 =2
15 15 3
2
You would make 2 complete turns of the handle and then an additional 3 of a turn, which could be
accomplished with either 18 holes in the 27-hole circle, or 24 holes in the 36-hole circle.

If you are trying to practice angular indexing using the same example and want to move 15°,
your fraction would be as follows:

15 6 2
=1 =1
9 9 3
2
In this case you would make 1 complete turn of the handle and then another 3 of a turn, which, again,
would be done with either 18 holes in the 27-hole circle, or 24 holes in the 36-hole circle.
