the three-jaw chuck mounted on the dividing head and so the rotary tabl e with Keatsangle plate wasbroughtinto use.The rotary table therefore coped with the situati on adm irabl y and requiring only six divisions the table's dials were adequate forsetting each position.

especially the lightnature ofthe faceplate are both Iikely problem areas.However, as mentioned earlier in the chapter, in this mode rotation ofthe cutteri s endeavouring to unscrew thefaceplate.Itis nottherefore a practicalproposition and should notbe attempted,even with a lightcutl. Mounting a workpiece onto the rotary table,typi cally as in Photo 16, is not as Sim ple as first envisaged as it m ust be concentric with the table.To do this mark the workpiece with a centre punch mark, Orcentre dri ll,Then,pl ace a centre in both the rotary table and the machine spindie and align them as in Photo 1B using the machi ne' s X and Y movements.

C hapter 4 T he M athem atics

Before one gets down to producing the case of a rotary table not fitted with a workpiece itwillbe necessary to establish dividing plate then the num ber of ibrations on the hand wheeldi alwillbe the set-up required.The process is m ore cal t h e i m por t ant f ac t or . com plex than m any w ill envisage, but For com mercialdividing heads 40 :1 fortunately the m athem atics itself is seems to be by farthe m ostcom mon,but relativel y simple. The two centralvalues when carrying in the case ofrotary tables there is more outthe required calculations are the worm/ variation,4O , 6O and 9O :1 aII being worm wheelratio and the numberofholes frequently available. Dividing plates by nature of their on the dividing plate ri ng being used.In the construction have more variation w ith smaller plates having around 6 rings of holes and larger ones 16 rings,m aybe m ore in some cases.The sm aller plates m ay have a m aximum num berofholes of 50 whilstthe Iargerplates may have up to 1OO holes.A smaller head is likely to be supplied with three plates making 18 rings in all,a largerhead willprobably have 2 plateswi th 16 holesmaking 32 ringsintotal. Anotherfactor is thatdividing heads from di fferentsourcesmay be provi ded wi th plates having di ffering numbers ofhofes in each ring,additionalplates also being available to fillsome ofthe gaps.This aI I

adds up to considecable variation in what is available and increases the num berof permutations, m aking it im practicalto publish in thi s book tables covering every possibi li ty. Because ofthis and nothaving access to tables covering a wide range of si tuati ons,Ifirstly decided notincl ude any tables at all. However, l felt this was unfodunate and have as a resul tdeveloped a computerprogram to provide mewithany com bination possible. From this I have chosen to provide tables forplates having rings with 15,16,17,18,19,20,21,23, 27,29,31,33,37,39,41,43,47 and 49 holes.These appear to be very com rnin com binati ons.Values have been worked out using these and three worm/worm wheelratios 40:1, .60:1 and 90:1.Having provi ded these iiststhey wilbe ofparti cuîar benefit to those who make their own dividing heads.The lists can be found in Chapter11. lf purchasing a new com m ercia1 di viding head itwillofcourse be supplied with tables forthe divi ding plates included, butwillnotcoverany addi tionalplates you m ake or purchase Iater to fillin som e of the m issing divisions.A secondhand head may also be m issing its manual.ltis worth repeating here that only the m uch m ore expensive universaldi viding head willbe abl e to provide aIIdi visi ons,atIeastup to 380.A semiuniversalhead w illIikely be provided wi th di viding plates thatwillgive aIlnum bers up to 50 with progressively fewerthe higherthe number, typi cally 29 between 51 and 1O0 butonly 12 between 3O0 and 380.

as possible lhave chosen to base these on acombinationof60:1fortheworm/worm wheelratio and 60 holes in the di viding plate ring being used. Consi der creating a di alhaving 125 divi sions foruse with an eightthreads per

smal lerthenjustpossiblyitmayhavebeen possible to Ii ve with it. Taking now the requirementfora 127 t00th gear,as used in an im perialto metric conversion on the changewheels foran im peri alIathe. ln this case the required angle betweeneach division is 2.8346456. Usi ng 28 hol es on the divi sion plate would be the nearest but as a gear is being produced any error at a11 w ill be unacceptabl e. Otherdi visions willthough be m uch simpler.One hundred divisions,as required on a dialfor a 10 TPIIeadscrew,would require 3.6 degrees per division,easily being accom modated by 36 holes on the sixty hole division plate.

an interesting projectin i tset f.One aspect of dividing heads made in the hom e workshop is that they m ay not have the restrictions inherent in those made com mercially. The dividing head seen in Photo 1 i s not Iimited to a single worm/worm wheel ratio as the design can cope with differing di ametergears.Ratios of30:1,35:1,etc. are thereforeobtainabl e.Tlle sim pl erhead, essentially an indexer,shown in Photo 2 can have additionalgears added as in Photo 3.Thi s opens up possibilities that are notavailable with a commercialunit.

Itwillthough workwherevera fraction ofa divi sionoccurswitha single outputrotati on.

Exam ple 4 Asa more extreme exam pl e,acom bi nati on ofa 40 t00th di viding gear and a pairof gears comprisi ng 45 and 35 giving a 9:7 rati o and 51-3/7 hol es.Seven com plete turns willtherefore give 51-3/7 x 7 which equals 360 holes passed.Itcan therefore be used when calibrating a rotary table i n degrees. These examples,which show onl ya m inute fraction of those possible,do,l hope,give an indication of the range of possibiliti esw i ththis setup,and asa result enables you to go down this avenue knowing thatitl s possible. Forthe sake Gfsimptlclty lhave i gnored the effectofusing a forked detentand for consistency with otherexpl anations,have referred to holes when using gears as the dividing device;the slot between two

plate errors.The extentwillno doubtcom e as a surprise to the uninitiated. Considera divi sion plate wi th 18 holes

theoreticall y spaced at20 degrees (360/ 18 = 20),buthaving an errorof1degree on the 12th hole,thatis spaced at19 and

21 degrees between its adjacentholes.If now attempting 9 divisions (4O degree spacing)and using a di viding head witha 6O:1ratio,the arm onthe dividing head will have to pass 120 hol esperdivision, thatis 60 x 18 /9.This i s 6 com plete rotations

be 39.984 degrees (2399/60)and 40.016 degrees(2401/60).From thisitcanbeseen thatthe second division willbe accurately placed as itcom pensates forthe errorin

the first,(39.984 +40.016 = 8O)butthe+/ 1 degree error between the two on the di vision plate has been reduced to 0.016 degree,1/60th thaton the divi ding plate. The value of1/60th i s no coincidence but willal w ays be by the same factorasworm/ worm wheelratio. A feature ofthis is that even plates m ade in the hom e workshop by relatively inaccurate m ethodswillstillproduce results accurate enough for aII but the m ost demanding requirem ents.Even here you can use the dividing headto make asecond plate and use this forproducing the final product.Bythis meansyouwillbenefi tfrom improved accuracy twice over. -

repeating isthatyourspreadsheetm ayuse radians to describe angles rather than degrees.Therefore,as there are 2 Pi radi ans in a circle then say f0r70 degrees the numberofradians is 70*2pô/360.Thi s should be evidentin the formula forB16. The screen printsalso illustrateanother important feature ofspreadsheet desi gn. Considering screen print2 i tcan be seen thatIines 3 to 6 are used fordate inputed by the userwi th the remainderdi splaying values calculated by the spreadsheet. These though can be divided into two categories,iines 8 to 11 displaying values calculated the once only whilst Iines 13 upwards repeat basicaIIy the sam e calculation butforeach hole posi tion.

W hiIstnotapplicable to today'sworkshops to the same extentas in the past,divi ding using drilled holes around the chuck's backplate can stillhave its place.Drilling the holes maythoughseem a daunting task butasthe system isreally onlyappropriate forI owernum bers there is no reason why this should be. Using the method of a di vided paperstrip,asdescribed in Chapter 3,w illm ake the process an easy one. Photo 5 showsa chuckprepared fortwel ve divisi ons.The back plate is to be centre punched on the markings and then drilled withtbe required holes,3 mm diam eterand 3 mm deep would be aboutright.Care in positioning the m arked strip w iI1 be necessary to ensure thatthe holes do not conflictwith the back plate' s fixing as they may be close to the edge. Having also divisions of5 and 10 may be desirable inwhich case a ri ng of60 holes would appearto be required.This need not be the case as two rings ofholes,one of 10 and one of 12 could be made.ln this case,positi ons 1 and 7,from the 12 hol e ring,sharing the sam e places as hol es 1 and 6 from the 10 hole ring.Itmay though

difficultto justify.Making ones own may Using X and Y co-ordinates therefore be the way forward. An interesting feature of using a divi di ng plate vi a a worm/worm wheelwith

the samenumberofholesonthe plate (53 in thi s example)as there are divisions required, is that the num ber of holes traversed willalways be equalto the worm rati o.Assum ing a ratio of40:1 the num ber ofhole traversed forone turn atthe output wi llbe 40 x 53 and the num ber ofholes traversed forone di visi on willbe 40 y 53/ 53 = 40.This woul d be achi eved with one turn plus 13 holes. Having menti oned 53as a di visi onand Stating thatitcan only be achieved with a 53 hol e plate, Ishould pointoutthatthis is because i t is a prim e num ber. Unl ess a Uni versaldi viding head is available, rather than a Semiuni versalhead, prime numbers always require a plate having the sam e num ber of holes, excepting for Iower numberswherea m ul tiple maybe practical, typically for 19 di visi ons a 38 hol e plate.

Byfarthe m ostaccurate methodto produce a division plate would be to workoutthe X & Y co-ordinates and use the m illing machineto posi tion the holes.Forthe lower num bers thiswould cedainly be the way to proceed butforhi ghernum bersthe method could be a little tedi ous and great care would be needed in setting the table's position foreach division.As a precaution, Iightl y m ark outthe positions with a centre drilland inspectthe resultbefore rem ovi ng the plate from the table,Any obviousl y out ofposition hol e can be setup again using the avai lable co-ordinates,m arking again, this tim e with a Iargercentre drill,Do also mark the plates centre posi tion whi lston the table as concentrici ty ofthe m ounti ng position is im podant.

Atworst,the errors in the diameter wouldproduce onsym i nute errorsin angular spacing and so would be perfectly adequate providing the radius errorofthe PC D could be accom m odated in the mechanics.lfusing a conventionaldetent its plungerwoul d notengage reli abl y due to the varying radius.

Formore complex num bers,mounta disc onto the face plate and using a suitably di vided paperstrip round the outeredge of the facepl ate willenable the disc to be m arked for m aking a di viding plate. The positions can be established using an automaticcentre punch mounted on the top slide,or a sm alI drilling spindle. This process should m ake a dividing plate accurate enough for m ost applications,

W hi1st the arrangem ent w iII give divisions of up to 1050,doubl e this ifa forked detentis used there is consi derabl e duplication and very many gaps,Iarge at the higher numbers. On the basis that highernum bersare unlikel y to be required, the tabl e forthi s setup in Chapter11 gives aI1possible values up to 100 thatare not obtainable wi th a single gear.The tabl e, having been produaed w i th a com puter program I have developed,covers aII di visi ons mathematicall y possible.ln som e casesthe head m ay need adapti ng to m ake some combinationspossible.Typicall y,wi th the base plate fitted as seen in Photos 1 and 3 there is a Iimitto the si ze ofdi viding gearthatcan befitted.The base i s mounted usi ng 4 screws on a square formation that perm its it to be rotated 9O degrees rem oving the restricti on. In this posi tion howeveri tmay notbe easy to mounton a Myford Seri es Seven type bed.In anycase some readers maywish to use the table in connection wi tha divi di ng head oftheirown desi gn. An interesting and usefulfeature of these numbers is thatthey,with only two exceptions,are achieved stepping from geart00thto geart00th.There istherefore no need to move across more than one t00th avoi ding the com plication thatthis brings, Three possible hi gher numbers that mayfind a use are also incl uded' ,these are 125,2OO and 360.In the case of200 the workpi ece rotatestwi ce and for360,seven times,see Chapter4 foran explanation. From a divi di ng aspectthere really is no difficulty created by the workpiece rotating more than once and i f a gear is being m ade i tshouldnotpresenta di ffi cul ty.

Ifthougha diali s being m ade,probablywi th three Iine Iengths,ten's,five's and units, greatcare in the preplanningand theactual calibration willbe required to ensure the Iine Iengths are m ade in the correct posi tions.Probabl y the easiestwaywillbe to m ake aIIlines ini tially of equalI ength. then marking the position ofthe five' s and ten's wi th differentcoloured pencil s.The workpiece can thenbe rotated,againusing the di viding head,and the appropriate li nes lengthened.

G hapter 8 A n A dvanced D esign D ividing Head The divi ding head featured here is m uch more advanced than that in the previous chapter, providing three m ethods of establishing the divi sions: 1. Directly off a gear mounted on the divi ding head spindle. 2.Directly of' fa di vision plate mounted on the di viding head spindle. 3.Interposing a worm and worm wheel between the dividing pl ate and spindle. T hese are based on the sam e assembly so the constructorcan choose to make any or alIof the arrangements using the one main frame,Photo 1.There would though be Iittie pointin constructing method one onl y as thatin the previous chapter is easier to m ake and m ore adaptable having the addi tionalgeartrain.

Photo 4 displays the reaireason for establishing the desi gn,the inclusion ofa worm and wormwheel.Unlike com merci al dividing heads, and probably m ost publi shed designs for hom e workshop constructi on,the design is notIimited to a single worm/worm wheelratio.Using 20 DP gears the assem bl y willcope wi th a gear up to 65 teeth,Iimited by the gear hitting the rearofthe divisi on plate.The holes in the end plate willthough provide sufhci ent

C hapter 10 P rim e N um bers

The reader may ask,w hat are prim e num bersand whatistheirrelevance to the

subjectofthisbook?

Taking prime num bers first.These are num bers whi ch are only di visible by 1 and i tself' ,typicall y,1,2,3,5,7,11,13, and on up to infi ni ty.There aretherefore very many and even a very advanced mathematician willbe unable to recognise beyond values ofa hundred orso.Forthis reasor tables of prim e num bers are an essential requirem ent w hen dealing with such num bers.

Prim e factors These are those prime numbersthatwhen m ul tiplied togethergive the num berbeing considered.Forexampie,prime factors of 1O5 are 3,5,and 7. 3x5x7 = 1O5 The method ofarriving atthese from a Iist ofprime num bers is as follows 1.Is the numbereven? No therefore start using the tables, 2.Look up 105 andthe smal lestfactoris 3. 3.Divide by 3 to give 35. 4.Look up 35 and the sm all estfactori s 5. 5.Divide by 5 to give 7.

6.Look up 7 which is found to be a primq num ber. 7.The prime factors are therefore 3,5 ancl Z'

Prim e factors ofan even num ber Forthisfi nd the prim e factors of132. 1.Being an even num ber the smallest factoris 2. 2.Di vide 132 by 2to give 66,again an even num ber. 3.Di vide 66 by 2 to give 33, 4.33 i s an odd num ber 5.Look up 33 and the smallestfactoris 3 6.Di vide 33 by 3 to give 11. 7.Look up 11which is found to be a prime num ber. 8.The prime factors are therefore 2, 2,7

41 willgive 47 also found to be a prime number.The primefactors therefore41x49 w 1927.Obviously a time consuming task wi thoutthe aid ofthe tabl es. Unfortunatelythough,space Iim i tations in this book restrictthe tabl e to 2000.To minimisethe taskoffinding prim e numbers above this a Iist ofprim e numbers up to 10 0O0 is also included.This willavoid looking forthe prime factors ofa num ber which is in itselfa prime num ber,typicall y, 4933.

having a worm /worm wheelratio of40:1 then for1turn atthe output40x49 holes on the plate willbe passed,thatis 1960.As explained in earlierchapters any number that divides exactly into this willbe a possible divi sion.To easily arrive atvalues possibl ei fwillbe necessaryto find itsprime num bers as explai ned above.Dividing by 2,2,2,5,7,7 giving 980,490,245,49,7, 1. The resul twillbe 2,2,2,5,7,7.which are ofcourse,num bers ofholes and m ust be divided into 1960 to determ ine the

Num bers greaterthan 2000

division possible.Ignoring the higher

Firsttake note thatno numberin the range 2000 to 10000 has a pri f' ne factolgreater than97, thatis24 possibili ties.Inthis range therefore take the following approach: First,ifeven,divi de by2,ifnottry 3,5, 7 jl etc. untilthe lowest prime factor is found.
