Which rotary / dividing head

[tmuir]

Its getting close to that time of year where I'm allowed to buy one moderately expensive tool without getting into trouble.

As I want to have a go at clock making next year I need to be able to cut gears so I need a dividing head for my mill.

I've only got a HM-10 (X2 clone) mill so I don't want anything too big but I want one that out of the box that has either MT2 or MT3 so I can fit an ER32 chuck to it or comes with a small 3 jaw chuck.

For the moment I need it to be able to give 72 and 48 divisions.

I'm in Australia and would prefer to buy one in Australia to keep the postage cost down, but I'm willing to buy from else where if the price is right.

Thanks
Tony

Did you consider a H/V rotary table with a tailstock and dividing capabiliy?
