What's my name? What's my name? My name is Dale. Dividing heads are excellent. But what if you don't own one? Another great alternative is to go in with an indexing head. But an indexing head has its limitations too. And basically it's on the sides of diameter that you can chuck in a C5 column. So that's what I want to talk to you about today is how to divide something up in a different quadrants without using any of those tools. The discussion today is how to divide something up without a dividing head. Now the reason I'm not using a dividing head is the main reason is the three jaw chuck that I have for it will not grit the material strong enough to use a cutter on it the way that I want to use it. The reason I can't use the indexing head is it won't handle the diameter of the material that I need to work with. So our alternative is using the milling machine vise and this is an excellent way to do it. Now a spur chuck which we're going to make today has four different quadrants and we're going to divide this out. Now a spur chuck is designed to hold a piece of wood in place for wood working on the wood lathe. On a spur chuck like this it's got to be divided up equally into four parts and the challenge is we have to hold it really strong because of the way that I'm going to use this cutter in it. Now what we're going to do here is we're going to set up a very simple system here and the accuracy of this system is really up to you and how much time you want to spend on it. I need to get a fourth quadrant out of this. Luckily we're just dealing with 90 degrees. We're going to take our part, spin it, bring it around and we're going to use this block here. This is actually a jaw, an extra jaw off of this vise and a square and just bring it in here and line it up. Now again the accuracy of that is dependent on you and how much work you want to put into it. If you also wanted to we can take an angle block like this and we could line this up. Oh I don't know. Maybe we would find a way to set up this way and bring it in. That's going to be up to you because remember as machinus we're different than a machine operator. A machine operator just does what he's told us as machinus solve problems and this is an excellent problem that we need to solve and work on. So let's real line this. Get it set up. Now on the back here, actually I need to set this up too, is I need a stop. So let me bring my stop in here. Okay. So now when I'm working on my material I've got a place that's already set up for how far it needs to be cut in. So we're going to come back down here, make sure our surfaces are clean and let's line this up here. Lock it in the village and now see if we can erreichen real line. Now you can see how important it is to hold this. These rolls can get used to bees which they can't eat. Which makes you want bees to eat apart. be used. And in this situation, because I know the stress that's going to go on this, that I used one of my eight cutters. And I thought that was very important you could see how much easier the cut was with a great cutter. So I'm going to finish this up. And again, thanks for watching. I remember subscribe to my channel. Until next time, go out and shop, build something cool. Thanks.
