dividing plates for rotary table made in china
Cut gears with your rotary table by using dividing plates (index plates) to get the exact divisions. You can also precisely divide a circle into a number of divisions or degrees, cut bolt hole circles, or mill polygons with the use of these dividing plates. 33-101 is a 3-piece set that fits on your 6" rotary table, 33-100. 33-106 is a 2-piece set that fits on your 8" rotary table, 33-105.
Dial machine—Original, Circa 1790. This is a French style tool. These were used to mark the seconds and minutes on the face and to lay out the roman numerals for the hours that were used at the time

The way that I was taught is that you have to make up a test bar. Take a piece of 12" by 1" roundbar, drill two centre holes in it"s ends, on your lathe and take a parallel cut between centres. Once you have corrected the error of your lathe and both ends of the test bar measure the same diameter, you can then use the test bar in your milling machine as well, to set the tailstock of the dividing head as well as the alignment of the bar to the table axis.
What?!? Nobody else gonna admit it? I"ve got a Lathemaster rotab. It"s the 8" model, though. I bought one with my mill. I got the dividing plates at the same time. It"s a "Bayard Industrial" which I believe is made in India.
I"m a computer programmer w/o any exposure to other rotary tables, but I suspect that others, even "cheap" ones, might be smoother. This one does not contain oil in a gearbox. The gears are greased, but no oil sump(?) per se. The dividing pin doesn"t line up very well with the dividing plates, and the one piece (cast iron) that is supposed to help you counting off spaces while using the plates broke before I got "round to using it.
That said, it is functional, and will do the job for which it is designed. There are frustrations present that you might avoid with others, IMO. Penn Tool handles Bayard Industrial if you want a price comparison. . . .
