    Default BS-0 between centres

    G'day,

    There's this yoke thing that came with my BS-0 for turning between centres.
    No explanation in the manual about it and I don't get how to use it.
    There are more screws in a packet for the yoke (not shown in the photo).

    Ok so, the dead centre will go into the spindle of the BS-0 after removing the chuck, but then what ?

    Is there a dog missing or something ?

    Phaser its for when you are using an arbor and you have a drive dog screwed on the arbor that locates in the slot in the yoke (your project, gear blank, or whatever is on the arbor). The screws in the yoke clamp onto the dog so there is no slop to mess with your dividing/divisions.

    Harold Hall has a reasonable explanation and pictures Working between centres with a dividing head

    That's some really good pages of info right there.
    I like the dog design too so I'm going to make one similar.

    Thanks for that.
