What are you trying to do with it? You can index it in 1 degree increments. Works like a vernier scale. Unless the one at the space is different, it should use 5C collets. Most don’t have a square base so you’ll have to indicate it in, depending on what you are using it for.

Depending on the tooth count you may have to approximate some teeth. A dividing head or at least a rotary table may be better choices. If 360 can be evenly divided by the number of teeth, the spin indexer can work
