I have a Harbor Freight Mini Mill.? ?I want a rotary table with divider plates ?? Is anyone using one if so what size ? Any information would be appreciated ??
Thank you?

I WANT a 4" dividing head for mine. What I'll probably have to settle for is a copy of the #0 or 5" Brown & Sharpe dividing head, or build one of my own. I've got a 3" rotary table, no plates or tailstock, that might work but haven't gotten to play with it yet. Don't hold your breath waiting! I think the 5" will be too big, and the 3" maybe too small for the Mini-Mills. Though if you want to cut gears for something like an Atlas, SB, or Logan lathe, 5" would be about the minimum if you want to do metric transposition gears. The DP 16 127-tooth gear is over 9" in diameter, and that is what the Atlas needs. Not sure about Logan lathes, but the SB Heavy 10L I have supposedly has DP 18 gears. At some point in time I'd like to have metric transposition gears for both lathes. A 127 & 100 tooth gears are the usual way to do it. Still reading and learning, got a long way to go, and YMMV!
