I needed something simple to use for headstock dividing and came up with this.
 

The gear arbor is the same as described in MEW, but the detent arrangement is my own contratption. Works fine.

Keep it simple and easy to setup! Very similar to what I made for my Myford, it expands in the mandrel and is so quick to setup.
In the gear I use (60 teeth) I have spot drilled shallow holes at the tooth base for the common divisions and dropped a spot of coloured paint in them so yellow is 4, brown is 3 etc - saves all that counting of teeth and reduces the risk of getting it wrong!
