Tricks for installing/removing accessories from a Deckel "SK40-type" dividing head ?
I've been switching my FP1/MT4 Deckel dividing head and accessories for an FP2/SK40 one. (Note that some of the MT4 stuff is still for sale, send me a PM if interested.)
Today I used the SK40 version for the first time, to cut a 17mm hex on the end of the part. I had a rough time getting the chuck plate on and off the ground interface on the end of the dividing head, because they are such a close fit that if there is any "cocking" the parts jam.
In the end what worked ok was to tighten a long steel bar into the chuck, then use that bar to "wiggle" the chuck on and off. Is there a better way? The fit is very close.
Cheers,
Bruce
