Universal Dividing Head BS-2A-J-8 – Vertex, MT-4 taper with 8-inch chuck

The Universal Dividing Head BS-2A-J-8 is a precision clamping and indexing attachment for milling machines, designed for accurate angular indexing and repetitive machining tasks in workshops and toolrooms.

• MT-4 taper for secure spindle mounting
• 8-inch chuck included for large workpieces
• 25 mm T-slot compatibility
• Complete set: tailstock and dividing plates

Accurate indexing for repeatable multi-axis work

The dividing attachment combines a stable spindle interface and a set of dividing plates to deliver consistent angular indexing. Fitted with an MT-4 taper, the spindle seats securely in standard machine spindles or adaptors, reducing runout and enabling precise positioning for milling, drilling and gear-cutting operations. The indexed plates enable common divisions without complex calculations, translating the mechanical setup directly into predictable repeatability for production and prototyping alike.

Heavy-duty build that stays aligned under load

Engineered for reliable workshop use, the unit’s mass and balance help maintain concentricity during machining; the assembly weighs 63 kg, which contributes to stable operation and vibration damping. The inclusion of an 8-inch chuck widens the range of workpiece sizes that can be held without additional fixtures, while robust bearings and a solid mounting arrangement preserve alignment over extended use, reducing setup time and rework in daily production.

Ready-to-use accessories for versatile set-ups

Supplied as a practical kit, the package contains a tailstock, two dividing plates, two brackets, a 3-jaw plate and a centre point, allowing immediate mounting and basic indexing tasks out of the box. The 3-jaw plate simplifies concentric holding of round parts, while the centre point and tailstock support long or slender components during rotation. Compatibility with a 25 mm T-slot on the machine table ensures secure clamping without the need for specialist adaptors.

Practical maintenance and workshop workflow benefits

Designed with workshop efficiency in mind, the indexing attachment is straightforward to maintain: regular cleaning of contact faces and periodic lubrication of the spindle bearings preserve accuracy. The mechanical nature of the device removes reliance on electronics, offering predictable behaviour and simple fault diagnosis. For shops seeking improved throughput, the attachment reduces manual positioning time and increases the proportion of first-pass acceptable parts.
