It's got a lifting eye so how big is this thing?
To big for me,lol

It was part of another machine - it has a connector for it.

It is probably in the 100 lbs range - I have similar dividing head for my K&T #2.

Aw, c'mon, Mike. Don't let fear & common sense hold ya back!

You could put a motor on it and use it for tig welding.

Input shaft for gears from the table feed screw, to use for doing spiral milling.

Pretty much a standard Universal Dividing Head, lots of outfits made them, and they were pretty close to the same.

This is the one I have it needs a good cleaning inside and out. I was thinking about maybe using it with the 4 th axis.

Never been accused of having common sense. lol

One point worth noting, is that for CNC use, you have to be prepared to lock down the spindle after each move, as there is a little inherit backlash in the worm drive that most CNC Index heads do not suffer, as they use a Harmonic or strain wave gear for the reduction, with essentially zero backlash.

Down to $250.

You waaaant it, you waaaant it...

True but on the other hand if I can use it with the 4th axis it would eliminate all the gear train backlash limiting any to just the dividing head.

Not sure I am following your idea of using it 'with' the fourth axis. Mind explaining?

Not really wrapping my head around how you would come out ahead, using a Universal dividing head along with a CNC rotary that is already easier and faster to operate for indexing operations.
