Also realize folks that this is an imported dividing head and not a vintage Brown and Sharpe or Ellis. Club away!

Still a dividing head!!!

I've been passing the ground through the body of a gear reducer I use as a welding positioner for years. I use it for mig, tig and occasionally for the plasma cutter. Still seams fine.

Im like the villian in Toy Story. Destroying good toys and making people sad.

I'm going to set up a gofundme page called "savethedividinghead" with a small donation YOU can save this innocent tool from the clutches of the diabolical Ironken.

Thank you! My cheap tool butcher shop thanks you as well.....lol

Speed is .5 rpm to 3 rpm. I still need to find a 6-8" 1-1/2x8 threaded faceplate and a 5" 3 jaw el cheapo chuck and back plate.

I think the copper will handle way more current than the little work lead I have on it. I have a 1/0 for it if I need to pour the smoke to it.
