Title: Please tell me about dividing heads, indexing plates etc?
Post by: John Hill on October 12, 2009, 04:38:18 PM

What is the important characteristics of these devices?  I know nothing about such things and I am wondering if making one or the other would be a worthwhile project?

What would each be used for?

Here is a link to a good site.

I think a dividing head has an indexing plate on it and you can change them out for different schemes.
Here is another link to an interesting article.

You can google jim sapp and get a bunch of links to his articles.
