A few days ago the bodgy old quill handle on my bridgeport finally became too much for me to handle so i decided to make a loose clone of the twin-grip style made by High Quality tools in the US, It allows quick re positioning of the quill handle. I have used one of theirs and loved it but couldn't pay the extreme postage out here. I designed this on the fly as i was making it and its really over-complex for what it is, its also a bit clumsy looking but i guess that just lets it blend in with all my other shop made junk.
For the moment the forum isnt allowing image uploads so ill pop in links to my google drive. Ill edit this ASAP.
The dividing head is new (to me), and has had a fairly hard life its off a victoria universal mill and is really a bit big, i would ideally like a smaller one so i can get it vertically under the head with some breathing room. Also having a 4 jaw is fairly annoying as 40 turns to sweep the part really adds time to the setup, I will have to rectify that asap.

The stainless flat spring i made initially (shown in one of those photos) was not a success so I have since made one up from spring steel crate strapping. If i was designing this again I would use a compression coil spring but i didnt have any of a small enough diameter.
