Enco BS-0 Dividing Head

[dwentz]

I purchased an enco BS-0 Dividing head, that I have had my eye on for a while. The fit and finish is far better than I expected. I found a few errors in the tables that are in the manual, so I created an excel spreadsheet that calculates all the available options for the index plates that are included.

The spread sheet will work for any dividing head, and you can change the worm ratio and the index plate numbers for what you have.

If anyone is interested please have a look at http://www.wentztech.com/metalworking/Projects/files/Enco%20Dividing%20Head.html

Thanks for the work. I have a similar head that I purchased from Ebay. I have an adjustable Buck 6 jaw chuck on it. The only thing bad with mine is the spring clip for the quadrant arms. It's very touchy with it's placement, sometimes it works and sometimes it pops out. I like the direct index feature on it for making quick hex objects.
