Simple indexing consists of a series of preset holes in a backing plate, these divisions are provided for the most common angles (such as 90 °, 45 °, 30 °, etc). The remaining divisions of a circle are provided by maually rotating the dividing arm using index plates. Tables or calculations are required to use this method.
