Modifying a Southbend Headstock for Indexing
Bernd:
Peter,
It's all done with mirrors. :lol:
Acutally it's the red version of the blue stuff. I got it in a bunch of tooling a guy gave me. It's quite old. It takes a bit to get it smothed out or it'll streak also. The product is "Dykem layout" Red dye 206 or 296. I believe it's the red version of the blue we used at work. Has the same oder. I'm sure that it's quite old, but it still works.
What helps to is that you wipe the part off with some alcohol, not the kind you drink, to clean the surface of any oil and it should go on better.

Cool.... Just been through and re-read the whole thread.... Mainly started by looking for this clamp!!
Nice bit of workmanship going on there Bernd :clap:
Personally I would have little/no use for this I think.... 1/ my mill is tiny!... 2/ I haven't even thought of using the dividing plates etc for my rotary table!! .... Maybe someday I'll see a project that will have me using them?
Still want to see what this all looks like when finished.... and what you're going to do with it!!??
Love the pink layout..... You sure it didn't belong to an old gal?? :lol: Looks very nice though :lol:
Looking forward to seeing the curves going on :dremel:
Ralph.

That is a real nice technique you used there Bernd, to get the tangent angle set up in the vice. :ddb: :ddb:
That is one to be stored away for future use. :smart:
We learn something new every day :thumbup:

Ralph,
Keep watching. I'm making pretty good progess on it. Hopefully when it's completley done I'll be able to cut spur gears with it.
PINK! That's actually a bright red. I promise to give it back to her when done. :D
If you ever find the head of a small lathe remember this thread. You never know it might just fit.
John,
Glad Grasshopper could show the Master a trick. It's not the most accurate but will get you within a degree or two. :thumbup:
Next comes making the "cotter clamp". I have it desgined on, heaven for bid, Autosketch. It sure helped with the dimentions needed. But before I can make the clamp I have to make a tool that will cut a .750" hole for the cotter to fit in. So stay tuned. I'll be posting on that in the next couple of days.

I had forgotten tha I had these pics on the camera untill I started the Cutter Block thread.
I'm milling a flat spot were the cotter key clamp is going to go. I need a flat spot for the wahers. It'll become clearer as we go.
And here is the part with both sides milled.
That'll be it for this part for a while. I need to make a tool block to make a tool to drill a hole for the cotter clamp. Sound familar when making something. Go here to follow the cutter making process.
