BS-2A-J-6 Universal dividing head with 6" chuck (Vertex)

A BS-2A-J-6 universal dividing head designed for precision indexing and fixture work on milling machines and toolroom setups

• Precision indexing for consistent results
• Includes 6" three-jaw chuck
• MT-4 taper for secure mounting
• T-slot compatibility 25 mm

Accurate indexing for repeatable machining

The universal dividing head offers precision indexing that supports accurate angular positioning for milling, drilling and gear cutting tasks. With a robust indexing mechanism the unit reduces setup time and minimises rework, ensuring consistent results across repetitive operations. The design translates dividing ratios into straightforward adjustments, helping workshops maintain tight tolerances while improving process reliability. This performance advantage makes the head suitable for both prototyping and small-batch production where reproducibility matters.

Secure mounting and workshop integration

Built for stable operation, the device features an MT-4 taper for direct spindle or arbor reception and a 6" chuck for reliable workpiece clamping. The rigid connection reduces run-out and vibration during cuts, contributing to improved surface finish and tool life. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 202 x 285 x 237 mm and a substantial mass of 57 kg, the unit sits firmly on machines and subplates, providing a stable platform even under demanding cutting conditions.

Ready-to-use accessory package for versatile setups

Delivered with essential fixturing, the unit includes a tailstock, two dividing plates, brackets, a three-jaw plate and a centring point, enabling immediate use for common indexing tasks. These accessories extend functionality without the need for additional purchases, allowing quick transitions between straight indexing, continuous indexing and custom angular divisions. The accessory set also supports clamping irregular parts and aids in accurate axial support during through-cut operations.

Practical design for workshop productivity

Integration into existing setups is simplified by a T-slot 25 mm interface that matches typical machine tables and fixtures. The compact footprint and clear mounting interface reduce installation time, while the solid build reduces the need for frequent realignment. By streamlining both setup and operation, the dividing head helps maintain throughput and reduces non-productive time, which supports better utilisation of both machines and skilled personnel.
