All,
About 10 years ago I had the opportunity to purchase this dividing head for $90.00. Of course, I jumped on the opportunity. I knew at the time, it was too large to use on any machinery I had, but I just could not let the deal pass. Anyway, I do not know who made it. I think it is a Harding(???), maybe an Ellis(???), but I really do not know. There are no manufacture markings on it. There are some machine shop ID numbers etched into the metal, but nothing that would help me identify it. As it sits, on the pivoting base, it is about 8" to the centerline of the head. As you can see from the pictures, it also has the fixed position base. I also have what appears to be a home made table for it that I forgot to put it in the pictures. The chuck is a 5" Cushman, with just one set of jaws. It fits the 1-3/4x8 spindle of the dividing head. I eventually need to locate a tail stock assembly to go along with it. So any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mitch
