Indexing head BS-0-J-5 – Semi‑universal dividing head with 5" chuck and MT‑2 taper (Vertex)

The Indexing head BS-0-J-5 is a semi‑universal dividing head designed for precise angular indexing and machining set‑ups on milling and drilling equipment.

• Semi‑universal design for versatile use
• Integrated 5" chuck for secure clamping
• MT‑2 taper mounting for common spindles
• Stable 130 mm diameter body for low vibration

Precise indexing that improves workflow

The semi‑universal dividing head provides accurate angular positioning for repetitive machining operations, reducing setup time and minimising alignment errors. Its integrated 5" chuck secures workpieces during rotation, while the MT‑2 taper ensures a straightforward mechanical interface with many conventional spindles. For workshops focused on repeatability and throughput, the device offers a clear efficiency advantage, transforming manual dividing tasks into reliable, measurable processes.

Robust design for stable machining results

Constructed for heavy‑duty workshop use, the unit’s mass and geometry contribute to vibration damping and stable cutting conditions. The 130 mm diameter body and overall build deliver the rigidity required for precise finishing and indexed milling. Compatibility with a range of workpiece shapes is supported by the semi‑universal concept, which accommodates common clamping needs while maintaining concentricity and surface quality under load.

Practical integration and application scope

Mounting on standard spindles via the MT‑2 taper allows rapid installation and removal between jobs, helping to maintain machine uptime. Typical applications include angular division, slotting, spline work, and small gear prototyping where exact positioning is essential. The compact form factor and dependable clamping reduce repositioning effort, enabling consistent part quality and predictable cycle times with lower rework rates.
