Thanks I will look into that so this guy also has several more dividing heads for sale I’m think about going back and getting them !! One is a Dumore dividing,indexing head over never seen one before and I’m pretty sure these round collet type things went with it . I will have to try and find a pic of what it looked like

It was this one . Is it worth getting also ?? This man also has a south bend 10 with a lot of extras it’s pretty dirty but all there if anyone is interested I can get his number . He also has a bunch of stock flat and round and stuff for blacksmith and some small collets that I don’t know what they are !! He’s looking to get rid of the rest and good prices !! He definitely made me some really good deals and I was a month late on what all he had I’m sure lost is on fleabay

Can't help with the model information, but that link hopefully will.
That would look good on my Cincinnati mill. Going to have to keep my eyes open.

I "needed" a 1"-2" micrometer that read in tenths, and saw this one on eBay for $19, free shipping. Seemed like it was worth a chance. When it came promptly, there was a 1" standard included, so step 1 was measure the standard with the new mic. Yep, read 1.0005. Kind of worthless. Disappointed, I measured the standard with my Mitutoyo digital...yep, it read 1.0005 also. So the standard was off, but the mic was right on, and held up within a tenth to gage blocks. So I could recommend this if you had a similar need.

what was the temp ?
standards are made at a certain temp, and if you are not at that temp... wellllll you get variation.

A fellow member moved a couple years ago. We had lots of help!
Unfortunately his lathe was slung on one of the forks on the fork lift. When the FL came to the incline the lathe swung and fell off the forks.
It was a terrible thing to witness. ( I should add, many forks have a hole at the end of the forks, good to put a hitch ball on so this wouldn’t happen)
Therefore, any time you have a piece of equipment moved and nobody gets hurt and no damage occurs, it was a successful event.
Every piece I have moved has been A memorable event, and so far, all has gone well.

well sold a mower, so now i am in the market for a mill
Yea, was a little nervous using forks to lift my PM30-MV onto it's table. The "suggested" slinging resulted in an uncomfortable tilt. Too uncomfortable for me. Dug out the tractor drawbar, under spindle head and across the forks. Nice and level but I still strapped it down. It's generally headed towards a very bad day when heavy things start moving on their own. 
Not heavy, so to speak. 700+ lbs. Easy lift with FEL, it can do over 3000 lbs.
