BS-0 Dividing Head Set

[ttabbal]

I've used the dividing head more than the rotary table. I leave the dividing head on the table and find uses for it pretty frequently. I've been needing to work on round parts a fair bit lately and the chuck is great for that sort of thing.

@jwmelvin If you had to do it over which one would you buy first?

Like [mention]ttabbal [/mention]I might say the dividing head, if only because it has a broader range. Thing is, now I have the rotary table, a spindexer, and collet blocks, along with the BS-0 and a BS-1. Most as part of other used purchases, though I bought the collet blocks new and more recently.

Each has its own advantages, efficiencies, and challenges, in varying degrees depending on the task at hand. With my current tooling and typical jobs, I’m most likely to use the rotary table or collet blocks.

Thanks a bunch for the input... I added the BS-0 to my PM order, I have a need for it first... Rotary table will be purchased in a few months.
