Dividing Head. Full Function

I have now added to the web a video for my full function dividing head which uses interchangeable lathe's changewheels for the wormwheel in the worm/wormwheel combination, providing therefore, ratios other than the common 40:1 in most dividing heads. This results in divisions being available that are not provided by the popular Semi Universal Dividing Head.

It also provides direct dividing methods (not using a worm/wormwheel) using the lathe's changewheels or division plates making it easier to achieve the simpler divisions. Changing the heads ratio and setting up for direct dividing are shown fully in the video.

The web pages for the dividing head can be viewed here
