Thanks Michael, for unravelling the confusion... 72:1 is a lot more useful :D
Looks nice and solid, what's the diameter? I might have been tempted to call it a dividing head :)

its a 6 inch an when i reassemble it today ill take some more pics, the paint or baked enamel looks like a quality type machine but some of the rest of it seems a bit more of maybe indian origin, chunky type graduations, and the bottom is only covered in by a galvanized shield not sealed
There is a couple of features i haven't worked out yet the collar around the spindle shaft between the indexing plate housing and the main body has 2 different positions but for the life of me i cant see what it does, the indexing plate is 2 sided which i guess is good saves misplacing one when not in use and also its almost covered in except for a small window to access the holes
but more when i get it put back together today
i wonder if the mt 3 adapter is meant to come out
till later john
I have the same one John, the two position collar is to engage or disengage the worm drive.
well its back together minus a bit of grease replaced with 68 hydraulic oil

the cover over the indexing plate (which is double sided) is graduated from 0 to 150 so i guess that means each turn of the handle is 5 degrees which can be divided up into 150 divisions
ill have to take the rotating collar off again and see what makes it disengage at the moment it doesnt
techo 1 your right i pulled the spindle out again and had a closer look its all on a sort of cam arrangement a bit of adjustment and :2tsup: it works much better and a lot smoother

thank you

Hi John,
Nice purchase - that's a good looking table.
The arrangement of T slots is excellent IMO - very versatile for securing a variety of workpieces and chucks.
My Vertex turned out to have only three radial slots, and it is rather inconvenient at times with different workpieces, or a 4 jaw chuck which could otherwise be mounted without a backing plate.
Cheers,
Bill
techo1 i wonder if you have any documentation or its origin ?????
