Just want to comment how impressed I am with this import indexing head I just got from EBay retailer.
Brown Sharpe design copy of model 0 index head
I was expecting a decent set up because I read a few threads poo pooing the Indian imports. So far I really haven’t figured out where it’s made but it’s as nice as can be. A complete kit with all the accessories.... all the bells and whistles. Total cost 257.00 with FedEx shipping from New Jersey. It arrived within 4 days.
I was also expecting sand and grit. I’m telling there’s nothing there. This puppy is clean.
The only issue I had was that there was excessive end play in the worm crank handle. It worried me at first but after reading the instructions I found the procedure to adjust backlash of worm gear. Piece of cake. I’m telling you this is nice as the best Taiwan tools I’ve seen. I’m so happy I didn’t pay twice as much for a used Phase II off of eBay. Would have spent more and received less in my opinion.
I’ll post some pics tomorrow.
