VEVOR Dividing Head BS-0 5Inch 3 Jaw Chuck Dividing Head Set Precision Semi Universal Dividing Head for Milling Machine Rotary Table Tailstock Milling Set (5 Inch Chuck)

Solid Cast Iron Body with 6-1/2″ / 168 mm Swing Capacity

The BS-0 dividing head is built with a rigid, solid cast iron construction that provides superior structural stability during precision machining. Because of its 6 1/2-inch (168 mm) swing, it can effortlessly handle a variety of metal workpieces used in gear cutting, slotting, and rotary machining. Because of the mirror-finished exterior, the body is more resistant to wear and corrosion from cutting fluids and metal particles that cling to the surface for extended periods.

When cutting with higher forces, the robust cast-iron frame plays a crucial role in helping absorb vibrations. Reduced vibration directly enhances surface finish quality and helps maintain precise machining tolerances. Over time, the hard body prevents the spindle and work surface from moving out of alignment. In both small and big workplaces, this enables the BS-0 splitting head to maintain accuracy over extended production cycles.

Headstock Tilt Adjustment from 10° Below Horizontal to 90° Vertical

The headstock of the BS-0 dividing head is entirely adjustable and tilts smoothly from 90 degrees vertical to 10 degrees below horizontal. This large range of angles enables machinists to precisely position workpieces for cutting gears, splines, angled slots, and intricate forms that require controlled orientation on several axes throughout the machining process.

Because of the adjustable headstock, machining is considerably more flexible and can often be done without frequent re-clamping of the workpiece. Operators can swiftly switch between vertical cutting, angled indexing, and horizontal milling by adjusting the tilt mechanism. It reduces setup time and streamlines the workflow while ensuring alignment remains constant throughout intricate multi-step machining projects.

BS-0 Dividing Head High Precision Direct and Interchangeable Indexing Plates for Accurate Division

A direct indexing plate is included with the BS-0 dividing head and is fixed to the head. Additionally, it includes two interchangeable indexing plates with different hole patterns. These indexing plates ensure proper division of gears, splines, slots, and circular layouts by precisely setting the angle between each cutting point.

It is considerably simpler to divide things up with a single configuration when there are multiple hole patterns. It enables machinists to confidently perform complex indexing operations repeatedly. Because of their hardened construction, the plates maintain their accuracy by resisting wear, distortion, and backlash, which can reduce machining accuracy over time.

5 Inch 3 Jaw Chuck for Secure and Centered Workpiece Clamping

This BS-0 dividing head features a 5-inch 3-jaw chuck that provides a firm, reliable hold on round and cylindrical workpieces. The three-jaw self-centering system automatically aligns the workpiece with the spindle axis. It reduces setup errors before machining by eliminating the need to complete it by hand.

To maintain the same cutting depth and dimensions during rotary machining, it is crucial to clamp the workpiece firmly. This helps minimize sliding, vibration, and radial misalignment, as the 5-inch chuck maintains a firm grip even during cutting. When milling, drilling, and profiling, this ensures a smooth rotation and improved surface finish.

BS-0 Dividing Head Tailstock Support for Long Workpiece Stability During Machining

To make machining even more stable, the BS-0 dividing head kit includes a matching tailstock that can support lengthy metal workpieces. Unsupported material may bend when cut or turned during long-rod or rod cutting, resulting in uneven surfaces and inaccurate measurements. The tailstock greatly reduces the likelihood of this occurring.

By supporting the workpiece between centers, the tailstock distributes cutting forces uniformly along the workpiece’s length. It helps reduce tool wear and vibration while maintaining the workpiece’s stability during extended cutting cycles; heavy-duty tasks like deep rotary milling, helical slot machining, and spline cutting benefit greatly from it.

Mirror-Finished Wear-Resistant Machining Surfaces for Long-Term Accuracy

All of the BS-0 dividing head’s significant structural and moving components have a hard, mirror-finished surface. Because of this surface treatment, the surface is more resilient to corrosion, wear and tear, and incidental damage from coolant splashes and metal chips during machining.

Maintaining a healthy surface is crucial for long-term mechanical precision. Indexing systems may experience backlash and micromisalignment due to wear over time. The dividing head can continue to function smoothly and precisely even after extensive use, thanks to the mirror finish, which helps maintain the precision of the mating surfaces.

Versatile Compatibility with Milling Machines, Drilling Machines, Grinders, and Boring Machines

The BS-0 dividing head can be used with a wide variety of machinery, including drill presses, grinders, milling machines, rotary tables, and boring machines. In many setups, no additional mounting systems or adapters are required when using the same dividing head across a variety of machining configurations, thanks to its versatility.

Cutting gears, indexing in a circle, milling slots, and rotating surface profiling are just a few of the many uses for this attachment. The BS-0 division head expands the range of operations that traditional machine tools can perform, making it a very beneficial addition to fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and precision toolrooms.
