I'd want to index most on my 14x40 which has a D1-5 Spindle nose.  I 
can't put anything between that and the adapter plate.  Technically I 
could put something between an adapter plate and a chuck, but I would 
prefer to index at the back of the head where it is completely out of 
the way.  I need to make a spider for it someday as well.  Probably make 
both setups at the same time.  I'd just CNC the indexing plate on one of 
the mills for whatever I needed.  I am sure it will be "close enough." 
If I need to try to chase decimal plates I might make it on the big 
manual knee mill with the DRO instead.  I don't know how I would QC it 
though.  I guess the end part would have to be the QC.
