I did use a collet holder as a vise, and not the indexer but it worked out great. Factory hand passes by with just a little drag on each ratchet.

Im pretty sure I can set up the indexer with 2 or 3 datum points for repeatable removal/installation of the extractor in a collet. Then set the DRO for X axis material removal. Ill post a few pics / videos once i get back into the shop. I may play it safe and just cut one at a time...

Yes, fitting the ratchet to hand is what is required. All are new/unfitted and need to be cut. Im thinking of the initial cuts on the mill to set the initial angle on the lugs/ratchets ( like the factory cutter) and finish with a file/stone for each for proper fit
I have a new cylinder that I will be fitting with new extractor. I do not have the cutter and tool for a N frame extractor. I do have an indexer and Bridgeport . Has anyone fitted an extractor on a mill ? Any advice on set up etc would be helpful .
