The basic parts of a plain dividing head are shown in Figure 13-2 and Figure 13-3. Dividing heads can also be classified as to size (for example, the Cincinnati Milacron Company dividing head is available in three different sizes). Really crude setup, but really nice results.The types of dividing heads used on milling machines are plain, universal, and helical. plate with 127 holes, 100 holes, and 63 holes one day a while back, direct indexing off some universal dividing head gears that we had at work. Errors are reduced by the factor of the worm and gear, so accuracy does not suffer too much if care is taken with the job. I have been considering cleaning up the edges of the break and silver soldering the parts together. If the tailstock is in decent enough shape, sell it and buy a tailstock to suit. They look like a simpled down lathe tailstock that someone milled the top off of. Usually a tailstock for an RT or dividing head has the spindle set up so it is mostly below the upper surface, allowing maximum tool size to be used. The import tool places are selling tailstocks for their RT's that may be worth a look. If you have a workable condition 10ee tailstock, it is like to be worth more to someone than a dividing head or RT tailstock would cost you, unless you can build it up so you are not doing anything irreversable to it. UPS does not like my residential address, either.Īlso, to clarify, I do not want a tailstock for this.
The postal service will deliver for cheaper, as well as only charging me $5 for the priveledge of taking the government's cut. Paying $35 so that they can collect $10 for the customs fees seems out of line to me. They tend to charge silly amounts of money for the privelege of collecting the governments percentage when they cart something across the border. I suspect the supected bent spindle was a relic of it's past life as a working tool. Honestly, I don't think I could have bought a decent castings set and a worm and wheel to build a decent head with for what I got into it.
Since I am using it, not employees, an Al. I have some 3/8 Al plate around, not so much steel of the appropriate size.
