Has anybody purchased or used a Division Master unit.

Has anybody built one from the kit.

I have a Vertex 6" dividing head I am thinking of adding one to,

I would like to hear from anybody with indexing experience using one.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you EVERYBODY.

It is defiantly a "Schaublin", everything matches, even down to the oil nipple position.

Thak you bikepete and Mark

It does not have a name stamp, perhaps it came with a milling machine.
This is what I have
What I know is it came from the then "West Germany"
It was owned by an Instrument Maker / Toolmaker now deceased.
The only stamping is the number 618 shown in the photo.
I believe it is old but don’t know how old.
The black round handle and crank handle are black bakalite.

When was bakalite last used????
The table is 280 mm in diameter. with 4 x 4 slots 14 mm.

The wheel and pinion are hardened and ground and sit in an oil bath, the level of which is indicated by a glass tube sight glass.

All screws are machine cut, as are all the screw slots which are milled.

The filler cap screw has a tiny air hole and is a beautiful piece of engineering.

A number 3 Morse (I think) taper in the center.

The graduations are cut, and numbers are all stamped.

The dial on the winder is in three sections of 0 to 100.

The ratio of the table is 120 : 1

Small parts Nickel plated

The only thing missing is the "0" or verier scale, I do not know which, but because of the length of the area where it was (See photo) I think it may hace been a vernier scale.

Words on the bakelite handle are "NICAFIL 1761/1" very small about 1 mm high.

Any clue at all would be great please.
