Finally finished creating the indexing blocks so I can mount my Ellis Dividing Head on my mill.
I found it very stiff to operate. After getting some oil onto the worm drive is turns much more smoothly.
But when I disengage the worm drive and go into what the manual calls Free Wheeling Mode, I cannot turn the shaft at all.
If I tighten the brake screw nothing moves. I loosen the brake and I can turn with the worm drive. If feels smooth, but very stiff.
The unit kind of looks like it...
