Dividing on boxford

[Bsmith]

Copied what I thought was a great idea off tubal caine on youtube, he used a circular saw blade, I used the change gear, then made new cross slide dial from a piece of brass shaft (dial photos later).

You have done a great job. I have the boxford cud. I hate change wheels my next lathe will have a screw cutting box.

Thanks Chris, Yes I know what you mean, changing the wheels is a bit off putting, black greasy tracks on hands and sleeves from gear teeth, odd nut or washer dropped among scrap pieces below lathe and hard to find again, no spare nuts or 7/16" washers. But the CSB is a good little lathe and as much as I would like a gearbox, my work dosn't warrant an upgrade as I only use it as a hobby now.
