    Classic DIY, dividing is of one of the most important shop functions. Your self created ro-tab is a great example; just of how much dividing goes on building certain types of work.
    Don42's http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/k...zzle-nut-42767 is another example.

    I'd think a safe bet is rotary tables world-wide do more dividing than circular milling.

    Hi Gang:
    Surplus Center has gear boxes at a reasonable prices: https://surpluscenter.com/search.php...&category=6012
    $80 for 80:1 box. If the out bore is large enough I would bore it out to fit some sort of collet. You could also add a shaft to the input to hold dividing head disks. If you could add a sector for tipping the box at angles you could cut most anything.
    Carl.
