I’m working away making patterns to cast the major parts of LH Sparey’s dividing head that several people are building. My version will hopefully be used on my MicroMark 7x14 Lathe and my X2 mill.
I have no problem (yet) visualizing how it will be used on the X2, but the lathe is giving me problems. Has anyone built this DH for use on the SEIG 7x lathes? How do you use it? Can you post a picture of your setup?
My current idea is to build the DH at center height for the lathe and include 2 v-notches for the ways, at 90° to each other in the base, and slots on each end for T-bolts for use on the mill. But then I thought if I’m going to line bore it on the lathe(first such project) I need to locate it on the cross slide. Some guidance please?
Maybe make the base as a separate bolt on?
