Dividing Head Set Up

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice deviding head. I like old tools and that looks like it’s been around a while. Very nice work sir

[@user-wo7rz3yn4o]

Enjoyed the video and found it helpful, thanks. I wish I had hair like that.

You might want to spin the chuck to check its runout before levelling.

on long hair. a braid and wearing a welding cap works real good

[@Heirieh61672]

Very informative, thank you

[@billdlv]

Good jobs Stuart, not a whole lot of content on this aspect of the setup out there.

[@greglaroche1753]

Was gonna thumb up until "go Cubs"... Aww hell, I'll let you have it... this time.

[@TomChame]

Very interesting, thanks.

[@mchiodox69]

The problem with concentricity is because you seem to be a Cub's fan. The curse flows over to fans as well. Good video though...keep them coming. Go Cards!

[@StuartdeHaro]

We Cubs fans do tend to be a little off.

So, to sweep in the indexing head, I see angle wise the concept, I understand you repeat the process for the other axis (your is keyed and you skipped this step) really what your saying is you need a reliable rod to do this. I have purchased HSS drill rod, but question the trueness (run out) of the rod. Any recommendations for getting a rod for the purpose of sweeping in an indexing head? Thanks Stu

[@StuartdeHaro]

I would use a large dowel pin or some turned ground and polished (TGP) rod. Another option would be linear shafting. It's straight, round, not too expensive, and hard on the outside. You can find it at McMaster Carr and a number of other places. You can salvage smaller diameters out of old printers too.

Hi really in joy your Chanel are you a hobby guy or a professional

[@StuartdeHaro]

A little of both. I work in a maintenance machine shop at a university by day. We rebuild pumps mostly, with a fair amount of hydraulic work. Not much actual machining. Then I try to make projects I enjoy at home. That tends to get put aside so I can do jobs for other people though, like the universal joint shown in my last video. I also teach part time at my local community college, but COVID has really hurt enrollment. I didn't teach last semester because there weren't enough students and I'm not sure if the class will happen this semester either. What about you? What kind of things do you make?

Taft pierce Serfice grinder. I did this I just started this hobby about a year ago I’m in the final stages of setting up my 14‘ x 14‘ shop in the back of my house going to auctions and having a lot of fun. Did you ever consider doing an online class for beginners using a mill, wave and a surface grinder?

[@santopezzotti730]

Not sure how technically it would work but I think it would be neat to set up my desktop in my shop and work on projects while you’re on the screen answering questions etc. there’s so much to learn but with some help it would really expedite things

Have you had a promotion or perhaps a pay rise as you seem jollierr than i remember. 😉

Nope. Just trying to let a little more of myself shine through.

@@chrisstephens6673 I figured this is the perfect time to see what I look like with longer hair. I gotta say, I feel pretty cool when I walk into the wind.

[@chrisstephens6673]

@@StuartdeHaro my excuse is saving money on barbers, razor blades and in my cade hair dye, so i can spend more on my hobby. Having said that perhaps that should not be hobby but my wildlife pets, the badgers eat masses of food , given the opportunity that is.

[@StuartdeHaro]

​@@chrisstephens6673 For me, it's the happy confluence of COVID and my midlife crisis. I find myself desperately wanting to do all the things I never got a chance to when I was younger, such as growing my hair out. I've also started to play the bass guitar, which is why I set up the dividing head. I was setting up to make some cool custom knobs. That video will be out eventually. I still have to finish them and then edit down the 20 hours of video to circa 10 to 15 minutes.

[@wktodd]

You need a hair cut!

[@StuartdeHaro]

I actually filmed this about 4 months ago, so my hair is a couple of inches longer now.
