Can a dividing head be used to accurately turn a piece down using a face mill and manually turning dividing head during the cut?
It sounds silly, but my options are limited. My lathe is small and can't handle the piece in question. My new dividing head has a 3 jaw chuck large enough to mount the work piece. It seems like it would work, but I could be missing something. If I can knock off a 1/4 inch, I think I can mount it in the lathe to finish the job.
