Rob,

I've clearly understood,

"I DO NOT SUPPLY DRAWINGS/PLANS OR CASTINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS JUST A HOBBY FOR ME ."

but could you post a couple of photos of your
" ye-oldey shop made dividing head."?

I'm on the scrounge for ideas!

Regards, Matthew

Cheers Lads 

Hi Matthew ,

Not a problem ,I will take a few photos later today , I am off up to Scotland this morning to pick up more rusty iron .

The dividing head is L H Sparey  design  and the plans for it can be found in his book  "The Amateur's Lathe "  A cracking book by the way .


The new addition to my tag line is due to getting bugged with PMs from people who just join here to ask me "can they have" , I have no problems helping members that contribute to the forum .


Cheers Rob

[mattinker]

Thanks Rob,

I'm looking forward to the pictures.

I've ordered the book, but it will take some time to cross the channel!


Thanks in advance, Matthew

Shame on you ....

That fan rotor looks very impressive. It looks as good or better than any you would buy in any parts store. Your usual high standards at work again. 

Cheers 

Don

[micktoon]

Looking good Rob  , as Don says better than what you would be able to buy, should give you years of service without falling to bits like most bought stuff these days too.

 cheers Mick.
