Bill,
Good advice, which I took. I wanted someone to tell me they used these collets all the time without a drawbar. The only reason I thought this might be possible is because it's quite difficult to release a part from them. My dividing head has a 40:1 worm making it easier to find the angles I needed so i had hoped to use it. Instead I used my 6" rotab with a 90:1 worm and an MT2 collet with drawbar. Anyway I did have a successful end product
That said, making one gear without a meshing gear means you're only halfway home. So I'm off to make a driver for this Geneva Wheel
Cheers,
Phil
