I found this dividing head at an estate sale about 2 years ago, and have been trying to determine the manufacturer ever since. It weighs about 115 lbs and seems to be fully functional, although the index plate has some hole wear. It takes 50 taper tooling and tilts through 110 degrees. There are absolutely no markings on the unit (except for a local asset tag), although a few pieces like the main clamps have single or double digit numbers stamped on them.
To me, it seems to be a cross between a K&T and L-W or Ellis. Having the helical input on the left side makes it a bit unusual. My guess is that it might be Cincinnati, only because I have a large Cincinnati grinder attachment that also is essentially unmarked.
Any ideas?
