Has any ever did compound indexing on Rotary table 90 tooth worm or 72 tooth worm . I am working a chart for 20, 60, 72, and 90 tooth worm here the first one.
127 division 6 32/41 + 15/49 10 times around for a 90 tooth worm
127 division 2 23/39 + 12/49 12 times around for 72 tooth worm

It is not difficult to create the 127 divisions with simple methods: Create the pointer and disc. Then create 127 division in exact dimension with Turbocad or Autocad. Clue the printed paper exactly on the disc. Fasten to the indexinghead/indexing table and the work is ready. 90/127 for 90 tooth worm, 72/127 for 72 tooth worm, 40/127 for 40 tooth worm. :)

I has created the 127 gearwheel for Sieg C6 lathe without trouble. :)

Looks good
I am working on charts for 20, 60, 72 and 90 tooth worm gear for indexing from 25 to 250 divisions.
Use standard indexing plates

Why don't you try this.
6 holes in a 19 hole cricle.
It will divide 127 divisions

Not possible to index with 6 holes in 19 holes circle to creade 127 division, you need compound indexing or as i showed in early comments about printet paper as indexing..
 
127 is a prime number.
If cutting metric threads use 37 and 47 tooth gear inlue of 127 and 100. This can be cut on BS-0 dividing head.
Some manufacturer will use other gear sets.

There is a beautifully simple and free website called Blocklayer that makes it a doddle to print a divided circle in addition to many other useful functions, like for example a pulley calculator. It literally takes about 10 seconds to specify a circle with 127 divisions like this:


The image can be printed and it's a viable alternative for those of us without CAD.
This should be a link to the website:
