I've got an older model and ordered an indexer. It seemed to fit OK to me. I had 1 left, 1 right, 1 straight, and ordered the extra LW indexer and clamp for the old straight because I use LW 90 percent of the time.
Is there something I'm missing?
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

UT OH.....Mine is one from the dial o fletch also Steve?  I had no idea yours was that old, as I thought mine was old having gotten them in the 60's.  So it might not work????
