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...

This is my dividing head that I've been making. I did all of the design work on solidworks and am about 90 percent done with building it. Drawings will be available soon but anyone interested in the solids let me know.

Here is my design for a dividing head for a mini lathe cross sliide. Can be used to cut gear teeth by mounting the cutter in the lathe and the wheel on an arbor. Anyone interested in the model or plans, let me know. Email billshop322@gmail.com YouTube :

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!
