Greetings,
I have come upon the use of a Hardinge dividing head and am interested in doing some cleaning and maintenance and am wondering if anyone has a source for a manual showing an exploded view this fine little tool. The spindle movement is a little rough and I am hoping to disassemble it and clean and grease the bearings and clean and grease the worm, etc.
My first project for this is to make a calibrated dial with 100 divisions for a small horizontal mill. The ratio for this head is 4 to 1 and there is no hole pattern that will allow me divide a circle into 100 divisions. I am contemplating making a plate with 25 holes that will fit the head. This should allow mw to create the 100 divisions.
Thanks for any info and for any suggestions.
David
