Ellis Dividing Head


These dividing/indexing heads work quite well in the home shop. I have used mine on both a 7" shaper and a knee mill with a 6x24" table. However, when found, they often have no documentation with them. The information posted here has been collected from a variety of sources.

If you need plates for your dividing head, contact me by e-mail. I may have some available that will fit the Ellis, the L&W Chuck head, or a Bridgeport head.
