I want to upgrade my SB9"'s lathe dials so that they are readable. Right now the area at the "0" mark is worn down and very hard to read. Tried bluing them but the marks are so thin it didn't help any. I don't own a universal dividing head nor the money to buy one but I want to mark the new dials I make. This might be a dumb question but can't I just use a 100 toothed gear as an indexing disk to set the incrementation of the dial marks? Seems too simple to work right but that's just me. It would save me a ton of money if it would work.
