RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - f350ca - 10-30-2016
That degreaser did a great job.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Pete O - 10-30-2016
Oh crap. I thought all it needed was a good clean and a spring clip for the dividing fingers.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Mayhem - 10-31-2016
Not your fault Pete and for the price I am certainly not complaining, as you practically gave it to me. Besides, gives me something to do
I was very impressed with the degreaser Greg - it practically turned brown as soon as the first part went in. Soaked for 10 minutes and then rinse. You use it neat, so I can see how I could use up 20L very quickly if not careful. I'm going to get a spray bottle to use.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - PixMan - 10-31-2016
I got a nice 10" horizontal/vertical rotary table with tailstock for sale.
Sad, I'd make that for you if I had time. If I had a machine.

Have you sold the mill already?
The 10" RT would be tempting but the weight would be a killer. I can put the dividing head back together without the lock and use it to make the part. I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Dallen is correct. For the profile all one really needs are the two flats for the drilled & taped hole and the clearance hole. Just have to use some longer mounting bolts, or counter bore for heads on a socket head bolt.
Took another look at the part. Is there another crack other than the one which broke off the "lug"?

Looks that way. A fellow came by Sunday for a test drive, of course it checked out perfect. Coming this weekend (probably Sunday) to load it out. I'll miss having a shop a little, but have so many other sources should I need an occasional favor. OTOH, I'm have access to a nice little woodworking shop...and a guy to run it. :)

Have some monkey wrenches that would make good spanner wrenches. Hint Hint.

It is a little more complicated than that, as it has a horizontal slot as well as the vertical one, so the two arms are (mostly) independent of the base. I was hoping that my drawing made this clear but I have included another photo below:

Not sure if I should say well done or NOOOOOOO
I guess I have to go with the former, as I know you need to fix up your home and also give Brian his freedom to set his house up. As you say, you have other options available to you, without the ongoing cost of maintenance. Of course, you are welcome to come use my lathe, mill, surface grinder and shaper at any time
Did you move all the mill tooling with the mill?
