High Precision Universal Dividing Head — BS2-8"

A universal dividing head is a specialized tool used with milling machines to precisely rotate a workpiece at specific angles. It is essential for cutting gears, splines, and other complex shapes that require exact angular spacing.

The PENTAGON BS2 Universal Dividing Head is primarily used for machining spur gears, helical gears (with appropriate table linkage), and bevel gears. It is also used for drilling, reaming, and cutting any workpiece that requires precise indexing.

This dividing head features a 40:1 gear ratio, which allows for very fine and accurate angular adjustments. This means 40 turns of the input crank will rotate the spindle a full 360 degrees.

The PENTAGON dividing head is constructed from hardened and precision-ground steel to ensure high durability, accuracy, and a long operational life even in demanding toolroom environments.

The spindle has a standard MT4 taper, which allows for broad compatibility with a wide range of standard tooling and accessories.

Yes, a tailstock with a matching center height is typically included with the dividing head to provide support for longer workpieces, ensuring stability and machining accuracy.

Yes, the universal design allows for helical and spiral milling operations. However, this requires connecting the dividing head to the milling machine's table feed screw with a gear train.

The headstock can be swiveled from 0 to 90 degrees, allowing the workpiece to be set in a vertical position or at any angle in between for complex machining operations.

The set usually includes 3 index plates with various hole circles to facilitate a wide range of indexing possibilities, from common divisions to more complex ones.

We offer pan-India delivery for the PENTAGON dividing head. All purchases come with a manufacturer's warranty and a GST invoice for input tax credit. Contact our support team for specific warranty details.

The BS2-6'' model is an excellent choice for workshops and toolrooms that primarily handle small to medium-sized workpieces. Its 160mm chuck capacity is ideal for a wide range of general-purpose milling and gear cutting tasks, offering a great balance of capability and value.

The BS2-8'' model is designed for more demanding industrial applications involving larger and heavier workpieces. With its larger 200mm chuck capacity and heavier build, it provides greater stability and is the preferred choice for heavy-duty milling operations.

The primary difference is the size and capacity. The BS2-8'' model has a larger chuck mounting capacity (200mm vs 160mm), is heavier (88 Kgs vs 73 Kgs), and is designed for larger workpieces compared to the BS2-6'' model.

The BS2-8'' is definitively better for larger workpieces due to its 200mm chuck mounting capability and more robust construction, which provides the necessary support and stability for heavier jobs.

The BS2-6'' variant accommodates a 160mm chuck, while the BS2-8'' variant is designed for a larger 200mm chuck, allowing it to handle bigger and more substantial workpieces.
