Mr. tubalcain. i have heard you mention a few times in your videos. Your students like the one with the dividing head and your student at the radio shack. I want to say. Your a lucky man. Your life has been dedicated to education. I am now one of your students. I hope some day some how. you will know how much all of your students appreciate your teachings.
Well said! I agree and also appreciate what Mr. Pete has done with these youtube videos. I have learned a TON of great knowledge AND wisdom to use these machines safely and responsibly. Thank you Mr. Pete!!!
That’s a very nice bit of kit. Beautifully made. The videos are great, really informative great to know there’s people willing to pass the knowledge on. All the CNC stuff is great but I’d rather know what’s behind all of it and these old pieces are just as clever if not more so than the new stuff. Thanks for taking the time to share. 👍
A really excellent video on the dividing head and it's use. This attachment was much feared by my students when they were introduced to it, but they soon embraced the use of it to cut a helical flute reamer by using the short lead attachment to drive the head, and eventually learn to generate a sphere by using a fly cutter and angling the head to 45 Degs, that impressed them and took away the fear! Many thanks for posting.
There are many things that you can do with a dividing head. While driving the head from the leadscrew is normal it strikes me that it should be possible to reverse this and use the head to drive the leadscrew, thereby moving the table by a very precise distance for a job like engraving a linear scale.
Mr. Pete, Excellent videos, your instruction it very well done and very easy to follow. Thank you for all the hard work you put into making and posting your videos, I have learned quit a bit from them.
I have watched several videos regarding machine operation and milling work. I have a small amount of experience running machines. Your video explanations are the absolute best, clear, educational videos I have found. That includes welding, casting materials, construction, etc. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos.
Thank You for your time and effort to teach us hobbyist. I've been waiting for someone to teach me about gears, measuring and determining the diametral pitch, pressure angle, addendum, dedendum all this has me confused, so please and thank you for teaching us.
Mr. Pete, I've seen dividing heads in shops, and never knew how they were used. I will probably never use one, but your series will satisfy my curiosity. I try to learn something new every day and you go along way towards making that happen. Thanks again.
Great Timing, I am so interested in the dividing head and learning how it works,, Thank you Tubalcain,I will be watching the series; likely more then once as I could be a slow learner. Harvey
Thank you for all of your videos, my machinist skills started out from watching them. I also followed up with a lot of reading. Every day I amaze myself with these basic skills when asked to do machining for my employer. You are a fine teacher.
Very VERY weil done. Even the tangent referring to Hints from Heloise and your grandma was on topic. I have not heard anyone mention using carpet to slide stuff easily for a very long time. It is still a good thing to know and more important to use. Dan Bentler Seattle Wa USA
Excellent pair of video's. Many thanks for the clear instructions on the uses of the indexing head. I look forward to seeing them in action in the future sets of videos. I think I would take the shortcut and repair the direct indexing pin, BUT don't let us stop you from showing us how to make a new one. Mmm reading further down the comments I see you will not disappoint us. :-) regards from the UK
Hello mrpete, I am studying mechanical engineering in Germany and your videos are the BEST way to improve my technical English. Thank you very much, good sir.
Thanks, that helped me figure out the angular setting my dividing head which is 60 to one. There is a lot that can be done with a diving head to position work at angle when one does not have many tool.
Thank you Lyle those were 2 interesting videos. If that doesn't spark a little fire for machining then there is no interest in machining. Wonderful stuff
Wow! The more I learn the more I see how much there is to learn and the more I want to learn. Did anyone make it past you in school that didn't end up a machinist? These are far and away the most interesting videos on RUclips. I see one thumbs down, had to have been a girl.
Dear sir, I preface by saying that I am a total "self-taught" amateur & I think your videos are great... so I have to assume that you want to re-make the entire pin ("from drill rod") as an exercise in order to teach us about cutting teeth on a shaft (a rack). If I were to do this project (call me lazy), I would chuck-up the shaft with the broken pin, face it off, drill a hole, and lock-tite in a new pin... perhaps a piece of broken drill bit shaft from my extensive collection of broken drill bits... don't ask why I save them all. Thanks for yet another great series of videos.
You are right about me making this as a teaching item. I had thought about your method, but it is hardened and would have to be annealed in order to drill it. I already made the vide-2 months ago. thanks
Hi Mr Pete I had to say that I have the same 10 inch Cincinnati indexer with the matching tail stock and a nice 3 Jaw chuck. I bought it to make a spline on a metal shear. Works great but now it needs to go.
Thank you for uploading this video Mr Pete. I've just bought one of the Cincinnati 10" Dividing heads you reviewed. I restore and build classic and vintage motorcycles, mainly Norton, and found that there was no way I could do the jobs I needed such as boring the exhaust ports to accept threaded repair inserts. I'm making a face plate to mount on the spindle thread to mount the heads. I know this isn't a conventional use but this machine accomplishes this job with ease. Your video has really opened my eyes to the capabilities of this fine piece of equipment thus extending the capabilities of my Bridgeport Series 1 milling machine.
+Sophie Hawthorne Thanks for watching--those heads are beautifully made--you can find the manual on vintage machinery. I always loved a Norton--and old Triumphs too.
Sophie, do you have a RUclips channel? You are the type of person I would like to learn from. I haven't got a bridgeport yet, slowly I am tooling up my hobby workshop where I work on crappy Land Rovers.
Mr. Pete, One of the most valuable resources I've discovered on the internet this year (besides your channel of course) is something called "Google Play". The book you mentioned in the first part of this video (and thousands more) are available for download for FREE simply by entering the title in the search box at the top of the page. Thanks again sir for providing such great lessons for all of us budding machinists. Tommy
If nothing else, you may have solved the mystery on the brand of the dividing head that I have. There are no name plates on it and the guys at the screw machine shop where I got it didn't remember what brand it was. I'll have to look at it again when I got home as I don't recall if mine as the helical gear cutting. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your video series.
Hey Mr. Pete222, You mentioned that you were not sure what the serrations were on the side of of index plate were for. If you were to need to reinstall work back into the head or if you were repairing a gear already machined you would use them. after you put the work back in, and align cutter, the index pin is almost always going to fall somewhere between two index holes. This will allow you to move the plate to the pin and let that pin fall into a hole without disturbing the work. Thanks for all your work, I first got interested in machining from your videos and now am setting up my own shop to do machine repair! Chris
Mr Pete . I have an odd request. In part one of this video you had , for a brief moment, shown a handful of Bridgeport plates. I've been looking for those for a while. If you could, would you kindly ask the person you borrowed them from and ask if he would be willing to part ways with them ? Thank you
27 hole circle --- each space is 20 minutes I think. Distance between 3 spaces gives 1 deg. (Does that sound right, Mr. Pete?) Smaller dividing heads like Carroll (like mine), L-W usually came with a series of plates, but none of which had the 54 hole circle, unfortunately (not stock factory plates anyway). I hope this helps someone (just worked it out in my head) assuming my math is correct. an example, I have a job coming up where i need to gash a part blank 8 deg intervals. 3 spaces x 8 = 24 spaces. Nice thing about Carroll and L-W is that they were fairly small and ideal for a home shop machinist, only weighing about 25 lbs., 5" dia plates. I think Brown & Sharpe also made a nice little dividing head about the same physical size. All these weigh considerably less than BS-0 and BS-1 chinese dividing heads currently on market nowadays by MSC, Grainger and the like. Every bit as good if not superior to chinese.
Hi there been watching this video I have the same Cincinnati dividing head and a slightly larger one but I’d like the get the backing plate off but I’m struggling to get it off would you have any suggestions Thanks Andrew
Sir, I see that this is the second of 10 videos. Are the following 8 titled similarly? I see part one is Shop Tips #190 and this is Shop Tips #191 but Shop Tips #192 is an Into to Gears and Gear Cutting. I'm just trying to figure out how to follow this very interesting series. And thank you so much for sharing you vast knowledge with all of us!
can you do one with all the dividing plates? I can't identify the one I have. goes from 30- to 117 holes, 11 rows. holes are entirely through plate. plate is 3/8" x 7 -3/8"
If needed dividing plate isn't available... Turn plate to known circumferance. make strip of paper of length equal to circumferance of dividing plate forming circumferance strip . Get something marked in even divisions say a tape measure, If you wanted say 11 divisions drop perpendulars from 11 marks on the tape to circumferance strip.That scales the divisions onto the circumferance strip. Mount circumferance strip on outside of dividing plate, use something like a razer blade and magnifying glass to visually index the plate on a rotary table on a drilling machine.
Dividing Head Q? What do you do when you have some odd situation when using the side plate. I don’t have a situation, but figured my dividing head would not work with the plates I have. Suppose one has to cut 33 slots, or flats. The formula; Turns=40/Number, so T=40/33=1.212121… or 1 and 7/33 of a turn (I think). Does that mean one would have to have a 33 hole (or some multiple of a 33 hole) plate? Or after viewing your video may be it could be converted into angular if one had a 54 hole plate? Lastly your videos are great - and while I am only a home enthusiast I am picking up a lot of valuable education.
Hello MrPete222. Nice video! I just bought a dividing head from the mark "UMC". It is european but is 95% the same as your Cicinnati dividing head. its a great piece but I am missing a small part. I am missing the part for direct indexing ( the part you repaired, but complete). do you think you can make me a sketch of the different parts . I would like to try to make it myself. Thanks for the great videos you always make. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Belgium.
Hello from the USA. Thank you for watching. I would have been very happy to help you. But six months ago, I sold my Cincinnati dividing head. It was a wonderful tool, but it was so heavy that I could not move it without help. So I decided to sell it since I am 77 years old. Good luck, perhaps you can find someone else that has one.
The book referenced in part one is available free online : archive.org/details/treatiseonmillin00cincrich Thanks MrPete for showing us this great book.
Why cut a whole new rack and pin? It seems easier to drill and press fit a new pin into the broken part. You might need a carbide drill if it's hard, but still easier than making a rack.
Mr. Peat with this of acquisition that dividing head you should be able to to anything... Gear Wise... Please make a gear the way you want.. However I would " Really like to someday see someone (in or on the machining community youtube)... use it or something like it as you described to make a helical gear with the aux drive.... Thanks
Lyle, I have just watched tips 193 about you adding a chuck to this dividing head. It will not allow me to leave a comment so I am leaving it here. I personally think that you are being silly and making yourself a lot of hard work by using a casting you already possessed. It is too small for the chuck, you say that you are going to drill fresh holes in the chuck, they will be far too near the edge. Buy another correct size casting, then you can use the existing tapped holes in the chuck, do not spoil the job for the sake of buying a casting. In fact it does not even have to be a casting, a steel plate with a boss properly welded on, or even brazed will be fine, after all it is going to me machined all to run true. All your other projects are fine, do not spoil this one, and also bear in mind that you are supposed to be teaching others how a job should be done.
You knew we put a man on the moon, right? Of course you can repair it. Making a new one, however, makes for a more interesting project, a new video for us, and will probably look better
Instead of making a completely new pin for your dividing head, couldn't you could face off the stub of the broken pin and bore and tap the hole for a new pin.
Great video..very useful for students specially mechanical engineers.. Sir , can you please send me the report of this to my mail id. ..it is very useful for me..
It would be nice if you forget about the encyclopedia of machining and described the gear cutting, the cost of the dividing head is irrelevant to gear cutting! If you don't wish to explain gear cutting without your encyclopedia of nonsense, please do not use the video as gear cutting!

Just found this series on the dividing heads. Learning a lot that was not clear back in high school 50 years ago. Thanks for the series.
Thanks for watching
I was delightfully surprised when you pointed out a feature that I have on my universal dividing head that I was not aware of thank you.

Thank you !!!!
My grandfather worked for Cincinnati Milling Machine for over 35 years and retired from them around 1960 I think not sure I was young then.
Looks like you got a really great but there.
Mr Pete . I have an odd request. In part one of this video you had , for a brief moment, shown a handful of Bridgeport plates. I've been looking for those for a while. If you could, would you kindly ask the person you borrowed them from and ask if he would be willing to part ways with them ? Thank you
I have this exact indexer, but i cant get it to move with the lock nuts loosened to adjust the angle.
27 hole circle --- each space is 20 minutes I think. Distance between 3 spaces gives 1 deg. (Does that sound right, Mr. Pete?) Smaller dividing heads like Carroll (like mine), L-W usually came with a series of plates, but none of which had the 54 hole circle, unfortunately (not stock factory plates anyway).
I hope this helps someone (just worked it out in my head) assuming my math is correct. an example, I have a job coming up where i need to gash a part blank 8 deg intervals. 3 spaces x 8 = 24 spaces.
Nice thing about Carroll and L-W is that they were fairly small and ideal for a home shop machinist, only weighing about 25 lbs., 5" dia plates. I think Brown & Sharpe also made a nice little dividing head about the same physical size. All these weigh considerably less than BS-0 and BS-1 chinese dividing heads currently on market nowadays by MSC, Grainger and the like. Every bit as good if not superior to chinese.
Hi there been watching this video I have the same Cincinnati dividing head and a slightly larger one but I’d like the get the backing plate off but I’m struggling to get it off would you have any suggestions

Oh my head hurts now. LOL
can you do one with all the dividing plates? I can't identify the one I have. goes from 30- to 117 holes, 11 rows. holes are entirely through plate. plate is 3/8" x 7 -3/8"
Lyle, sorry typing error on previous note, should have read SHOP TIPS 195.
If needed dividing plate isn't available...
Turn plate to known circumferance. make strip of paper of length equal to circumferance of dividing plate forming circumferance strip . Get something marked in even divisions say a tape measure, If you wanted say 11 divisions drop perpendulars from 11 marks on the tape to circumferance strip.That scales the divisions onto the circumferance strip. Mount circumferance strip on outside of dividing plate, use something like a razer blade and magnifying glass to visually index the plate on a rotary table on a drilling machine.
Thanks--that is an excellent idea--never would of thought of it.
could face off and drill and put a pin in the end of the lock for the direct indexing lock. just a quicker fix.
Dividing Head Q?
What do you do when you have some odd situation when using the side plate. I don’t have a situation, but figured my dividing head would not work with the plates I have.

I cannot make a helical gear without a horz. mill that will gear drive it.
Hey, I've got a B&s #10 taper mill holder that could probably hold a center for you. Get hold of me, and I will send it to you.
What is a fair price for one like this I am looking on eBay and cl , but prices are all over the place .
300 or 400
I paI'd £150 for mine. EBay shock was the actual size of it, and weight of it when I picked it up.

Can you just repair the broken part?
yeah, why not
You knew we put a man on the moon, right? Of course you can repair it. Making a new one, however, makes for a more interesting project, a new video for us, and will probably look better
Too late. I already made a new one.
Can't wait to see it... :)
Instead of making a completely new pin for your dividing head, couldn't you could face off the stub of the broken pin and bore and tap the hole for a new pin.
pROBABLY, BUT IT IS HARDENED
Anneal it first, then re-harden it.
Great video..very useful for students specially mechanical engineers..

It would be nice if you forget about the encyclopedia of machining and described the gear cutting, the cost of the dividing head is irrelevant to gear cutting! If you don't wish to explain gear cutting without your encyclopedia of nonsense, please do not use the video as gear cutting!
