Hi all
Having choked after looking at the prices of factory-made gears, I've decided that I really need to learn to cut my own. So, I need a dividing head suitable for my Taig mill and lathe. Enter Tony Jeffrees... who has designed just the beastie required (see here: http://www.jeffree.co.uk/pages/divheadmk1.html )
I've started with the spindle:
Engineering Change No 1: decided that the spindle nose should be threaded 3/4-16 so all my Taig tooling will fit, this necessitated a filing guide to make the hex...(you all know how this goes... need a tool to make a tool to make a tool.....)
And here we are: spindle finished.
Don't touch that dial, more to come!
Cheers, Joe
