This model of a dividing head is build out of a combination of primitive shapes and gears. Created using Inventor and Fusion 360 by Autodesk. It can simply be printed off and used as a class room aid (as my tutor requested) or as a basis for a classroom project. Such projects could be the design and build of their own dividing head/ any other applicable machine/gear box the tutor deems worthy/ or of one component of a assembly (with all the components from each team being constructed into the working model at the end).
The reason for picking a dividing head is it’s a very niche item in the work shop. Many people not knowing about or knowing how to use one. In my current course knowing about a dividing head is part of the syllabus however to properly show the class, the class has to go down to the work shop and the dividing head be set up. With the tutor then trying to explain it as best he can (it’s a large metal object with no way of seeing the inner workings). Using my aid the class can remain in the class room, be shown a simplified version and even pass it around and have a go. Thus developing a better understanding. And if any questions arrive the tutor and quickly and easily explain with the aid of the model.
