I have a KO Lee sensitive work head model B942 that came with several dividing heads. They are 4, 6. 8, 24 and 28 divisions.
I had a project that required a 36 division head. So I contacted LeBlond (who bought the KO Lee assets) to see if they had one in inventory. They didn't but said they would make one for $500. I declined and decided to make my own.
I bought enough steel to make that one plus 4 more. So I now have the 36 divisions one made and the project completed.
And I have 4 more blanks.
I was thinking that 1 disc should be a 40 division one since I don't have a way to do a 5-sided piece yet. But the other 3 are still waiting for a decision.
I typically do 1-off sorts of stuff so I never know what's next. "Versatility" is the key word here.
The KO Lee catalog only lists even numbered plates. Does it make sense to have some odd numbered ones? Have you ever needed a plate like that?
