How did you go with the dividing head?
I recently bought the same one.
I’d be interested to know what plate you have on yours.
Cheers
Hi and welcome to the forum; I've just got home after a couple of weeks away so just reading your post. The Paradisi seems to me to be a very nice piece of kit, I'll have to have a look and see what the hole ranges are on the plate. I picked up a copy of the original user manual which has charts for all the compound indexing gearing for every division between 1 and 400, plus the spiral cutting charts etc. I could send you a copy if you don't have them. Do you have the gear train components? Mine had none of the gears nor the banjo, I have cast a banjo and made the gear spindles but have not yet found time to make any of the gears, other projects keep pushing it down the list. If you have the gears I'd be interested to know what pitch the originals are, I bought a couple of 14DP involute cutters for the task and have been keeping an eye out for the rest of the set.
