Includes a 6" chuck for workpiece clamping
High mass (78.5 kg) for improved vibration damping
25 mm T-slot base for secure table installation

Consistent precision through mass and mechanics

Built to deliver repeatable angular positioning, this indexing head relies on its substantial mass and well-balanced construction to reduce vibration during cutting operations. The heavy build, specified at 78.5 kg, contributes directly to repeatability and surface quality when performing serial workpieces, meaning fewer rejects and less rework. The compact external dimensions (340 x 359 x 235 mm) make the unit suitable where floor space is limited, while the mechanical design focuses on delivering consistent angular accuracy across repeated cycles. Where accuracy matters, stability translates into measurable time and material savings.

Flexible mounting and straightforward compatibility

The device is supplied with an MT‑4 spindle taper and a 6" chuck, allowing direct installation in compatible mill spindles or mounting fixtures. The 25 mm T‑slot base aligns with standard table slots, simplifying clamping and orientation on machine tables. These features combine to make the unit adaptable: it supports a variety of clamping arrangements without bespoke fixturing and facilitates quick setup changes between jobs. The practical interface elements reduce machine downtime and support lean workflows in production environments that require frequent job changes.

Workshop-ready design for reliable operation

Manufactured by Vertex, the dividing head emphasises durability and ease of integration into existing machine tool fleets. The machining and finishing of mating surfaces ensure a secure seating in MT‑4 arrangements, while the included chuck lowers the number of additional accessories required for initial use. Maintenance is kept straightforward through accessible components and a design that prioritises longevity; this gives procurement teams confidence in lifecycle performance and maintenance planning. The product footprint and specification reflect a balance between performance and usability for industrial workshops.
