Hi All my name is Wayne I live in a agricultural part of Spain (an engineering waste land). I have a BV20 Axminster lathe and a KTF mill drill. I have dabbled in cnc building and put stepper motors on the mill but the backlash was such that to cut a circle would at best end up egg shaped, so i have a sophisticated power feed but I have come to like turning the handles. I have done virtually no milling or lathe work but have read some good books buy Harold hall and as a first proper project wanted to make a rotary table similar to one of his books, but nothing seemed to fit what I wanted, ( if the truth be known I didn't know what i wanted) then after searching google I saw the dividing head by one of your members Mark and this lead me to your site and by his title assured me that any one could make one, so that thought has kicked me up the back side to stop surfing and start swarfing. After work tomorrow I am going to dust off the mill and lathe and make a start.
I know it is a big project and the out come will not be as good as Mark's cracking job but you got to start some where I will take some picks of my progress for anyone who may be interested.
