Making a diviing head
Hi,
I have this old manual drill and I am thinking of making a division head for my drill press using its mechanism; if driven by the spindle it will give me a reduction ratio of 4:1
I thought I could machine the handwheel to mate with a backing plate for the mini lathe chucks; there will be a little backlash and I am trying to think of a means of minimizing it.
Before I start chipping away I wil try to make a 3D model and I'll post it here; all suggestions are welcome.
