Hi Lads

This series of videos shows my attempt at replicating the dividing head originally built by a Mr Sparey.
Interest was re kindled by Rob Wilson

Hi there, John,

I'm very much enjoying watching this set of videos, as I have enjoyed your previous ones.   :clap:   :clap:   :clap:   :clap:   :clap:   :clap: 

But, I have a question (it's not a hard one, I'm sure.):

The Sparey dividing head uses lathe change-wheels to set its division intervals.  Your Boxford lathe has a quick change gearbox - where will you source the wheels for your device?  Do you already have a set 'in stock'?  Will this be the great awaited project when they 'come in handy'?   :D   :D   :D

Hi

They are easy to find on ebay

A Superb video blog of this build. Thank you.

You have shown me how to turn between centres and why you should.
You have shown me the basis of cutting threads. If only my top slide would rotate to 27.5 deg.

So when do we see how it works and the tool in action ?

I'd also be interested in a set of castings if you are willing to make me some.

Alex.
