The top block attaches to the top of the head stock for the pin. Lin.

Here is an excellent article: http://www.woodcentral.com/articles/turning/articles_837.shtml If want to mark off circle in degrees can print one out and glue to wood or plastic. http://www.smithart.us/download.htm Have no experience with PSI index attachment, but wonder how spindle locks without a nut to hold index wheel. Looks like have to install your four-jaw, collect chuck, or pick up a nut for spindle.
