Lathe Head Degree Wheel

thingiverse

I possess a standard Enco 19" Lathe made by a well-known Chinese manufacturer. To create some gears from scratch, I required a divided wheel to secure the lathe head and hold it firmly in place. This particular wheel, accompanied by the screw positioned at the end of the arm, ensures stability while working. The wheel is designed to snap onto the lock nut situated at the end of the lathe shaft, following belt removal. The folding mechanism enables easy stowage of the arm when not in use. My lathe features a 78-hole wheel that provides precise markings for multiples of 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, and 39. Additionally, I utilize a 60-hole wheel to accurately achieve marks corresponding to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30. The wheels were printed using .21mm layers with two solid bottom layers for stability and five perimeter enclosures. The labels accompanying the instruction set can be found in the attached pdf files; however, I've personally printed only the 78-hole wheel for this purpose.
