Frequently asked
Is this dividing head compatible with all milling machines?
It is designed to fit standard toolroom mills and milling machines.
What is included with the unit?
Usually includes index plates and a matching tailstock for support.
Can it handle vertical machining tasks?
Yes, the headstock swivels 0° – 90° for vertical operations.
More questions buyers ask
What is a semi-universal dividing head used for?
It is used on milling machines for indexing, gear cutting, fluting, and machining complex angular patterns.
What does the 40:1 gear ratio mean?
The 40:1 ratio means 40 turns of the index crank result in one full 360-degree rotation of the spindle, allowing for precise angular positioning.
Is a tailstock included with the dividing head?
Yes, PENTAGON dividing heads typically include a matching tailstock to support long workpieces.
Can this be used for vertical machining?
Yes, the headstock can swivel from 0° to 90°, allowing for both horizontal and vertical indexing operations.
What is the difference between BS0 and BS1 models?
BS0 models are generally smaller (e.g., 5" chuck) with MT2 tapers, while BS1 models are larger (6"-8" chucks) with MT3 tapers for heavier loads.
What accessories come with the set?
Standard sets include index plates, a tailstock, a 3-jaw chuck, a back plate, and a center.
How do I choose the right size?
Choose based on your milling machine's capacity and the size of the workpieces you typically handle (5", 6", or 8").
Does it support direct indexing?
Yes, it supports direct indexing for 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 divisions.
Is this suitable for industrial use?
Yes, it is constructed from hardened, precision-ground steel designed for continuous workshop and toolroom environments.
What is the warranty and delivery process?
We provide standard manufacturer warranty and pan-India shipping with GST-compliant invoices.
Who should choose the BS0-5" model?
Ideal for small-scale workshops and light-duty milling tasks requiring a 125mm chuck capacity.
Who should choose the BS1-6" model?
Best for standard toolroom applications requiring a versatile 160mm chuck and MT3 taper compatibility.
Who should choose the BS1-8" model?
Recommended for heavy-duty machining tasks requiring a larger 200mm chuck and increased workpiece support.
How does the BS0 compare to the BS1-6"?
The BS0 is more compact with a 125mm chuck and MT2 taper, whereas the BS1-6" offers a larger 160mm chuck and more robust MT3 taper.
Which model is best for heavy-duty gear cutting?
The BS1-8" is the most suitable due to its larger chuck size and robust construction for handling heavier loads.
