Ordered the BS-0 Dividing Head... Vevor... found it in eBay for 206.00 which is the lowest I have seen it in awhile...
And these popped-up on related items, not sure why, but figured I would get them as well... 5C square collets...

Hey Jamie. I bought the same a couple years ago. Before I used it, I tore it all apart, cleaned it, made new brass bushings for it etc. It tuned up nicely. It was pretty crunchy / gritty when I got it, now it is smooth as glass.
This guy gives a pretty good tutorial on a tear down, clean up etc. The three vid's are worth a watch if you entertain the idea. I also bought an ER32 collet backplate that screws directly on to the dividing head. I like it muchly.

I had an issue with my el-cheapo BS-0. But honestly, I think it may have been caused by shipping mistreatment. However, the BS-0 was inadequately packaged by the supplier to prevent weight shift. FedEx dropped the package and attempted to conceal the damage. I did a complete teardown to see if the BS-0 was ok. I used the video that @Eyerelief has linked. The BS-0 had a broken bearing casting, which is one the few parts that is NA on the parts list. I finally got my money back, but it took a lot of perseverance on my part. It was a good thing that I bought it off eBay, since eventually they forced the vendor to issue a refund. I did have to ship the unit back, but the vendor paid the return shipping. My final position was, "it is the responsibility of the seller to package the goods such that they are received in new and undamaged condition". eBay backed me up, since I basically copied the words from their website.

Is it wrong, even if I do not do woodworking, to lust after a workbench like this one?? I love mechanical art... this vise is a thing of beauty...
He made one workbench using a set of electric height adjustable legs and one of his twin turbo vises at one end…
He also made one awesome workbench with two vises, for Adam Savage... with a metal base... amazing!
I want to buy one of his Twin Turbo Vise and set it aside for whenever I get to making a bench for it... it is a sickness, I know...
