More questions buyers ask
What is a semi-universal dividing head used for?
A semi-universal dividing head is a precision indexing device used on milling machines for accurate angular and circular machining operations, such as gear cutting, splines, flutes, and bolt circles.
What is the gear ratio of the PENTAGON dividing head?
The PENTAGON semi-universal dividing head features a 40:1 worm-gear ratio for precise indexing.
Can the spindle be tilted on this dividing head?
Yes, the headstock spindle can be tilted from 0° to 90° for angular machining operations.
What type of indexing can be performed?
The dividing head supports both direct and indirect indexing for accurate workpiece division.
Are dividing plates included with the set?
Yes, the set typically includes three dividing plates (A, B, C) with multiple hole circles for complex indexing.
What is the difference between direct and indirect indexing?
Direct indexing uses a plate with 24 holes for quick divisions, while indirect indexing uses the worm gear and dividing plates for more complex divisions.
Is a tailstock included with the dividing head?
Yes, a tailstock with a matching center height is usually included in the set.
What machines are compatible with this dividing head?
