dividing head

I ordered a BS-1 clone indexing head, with 3-jaw chuck and tailstock. Disassembled for clean-up as most folks do and found the indexing head to be surprisingly clean. No issues there. Only problem I found was with the chuck - jaw motion was not smooth. Fixed by removing some debris and burrs...

I filmed this over a year ago and just got around to editing it. It's shows me setting up and cutting a course pitch spiral in a piece of 32mm silver steel (drill rod) for the column of what became my Quorn project. Enjoy:

Hello gents, Looking to add indexing plates to the tool box since I only have two for my Hardinge Dividing head. I am also looking for the stop arms that index around the plate if anyone something that odd laying around. Thanks!
