BROWN & SHARPE UNIVERSAL DIVIDING HEAD

BROCKWOOD said:
Hey Ken, I have manipulated page 6 from the usual B&S 0-1-2 that we all have seen. All I did was cut out the B&S 0, 1 & tailstock portions then move the title & resize it all. I wish I did have a manual that answered the questions we have raised on this thread!

I am fairly sure that I have a parts book that covers the dividing head, will look tomorrow; if you can find a manual on a #2 universal mill, it would include parts for the dividing head.
 
Well, those pics hurt my eyes after posting them. Any suggestions? They are much better on my hard drive.
 
Those are better than the ones that I found, one is for the later type that is made more like a Cincinnati, the other is an earlier plain bearing type.
 
Still waiting on my mini end mills to come, so that I can fix my Index Stop Pin (702). They should be here tomorrow, but I have a 12 hour shift........
Progress, I looked into the Spindle Stop (706 & 707). I noticed a detent in the 706 portion but no springs or brass on any of this. So I made springs & a brass 'bullet'. Having 'clocked' the spur gear to get the detent to function properly, I find the handle is pointing the wrong way. Gonna take heat to get the screw loose so that it can be turned around.
Moving forward, the Worm Shaft Pinion Knob & Nut (717 & 716) apparently came with the nut locked down by a small dowel into the main body & the knob had 4 set screws holding it tight to the nut. Somebody wanted the Index permanently engaged.
Same pics, The forward Spiral Gear Guard (no number) is Brass & is cleaning up nicely!
Now the other WHY? I have for now is the Worm Shaft Adjusting Screw (703). It will be interesting to see why a bolt was added to it.
As always: Ideas, Answers, theories & Solutions are welcome!20170609 01.jpg 20170609 02.jpg 20170609 04.jpg
 
It never ceases me to wonder why people do things like that!:(
 
Hammer and chisel man., not even a backyard mechanic.
I just got a small l&w dividing head , I hope it's not abused this bad.
