I have 2 gearboxes a 40:1 which i am using and a 60:1 that i could have used but it is tied up right now so the 40:1 will do.
It has 2 hollow shafts so i made slip in shafts to hold the chuck which is threaded 1 1/2-8 and another shaft that you turn to hold the plates and the sector arms. I still need to bend the sector arms and make the rotating shaft turner handle as well a small pointer to line up the holes. I wanted something small that was sturdy so i could use it on my shaper. The division plates came from the UK via Ebay seller marypoppinsbag and she may make or have more more but any plate will work. I couldn't see making them since they were pretty cheap and nice. So as always enjoy the pics and if any questions just ask. I have more pics of the basic parts and will take more as i finish...Bob
