   I don't recall.  It was dirt cheap.  I made a mounting plate for the   
   chuck I took off my Harbor Freight lathe.   
      
   I don't use it often enough to really say if its any good, but it has   
   done the jobs I have asked of it.  I use the CNC table (from Tormach),   
   the cheap spin indexers, and even the collet blocks more often.  A lot   
   of the jobs I would have used it for are easier now with other tools.   
   I've been debating taking the chuck off to use on the 5C arbor Snag sent   
   me.   
      
   I may have a job coming up for the BS-O indexing head.  Resizing a   
   bending die.
