Precision indexing fixtures and rotary tables for exact angular positioning
Precision indexing fixtures and rotary tables provide exact angular positioning for milling machines and boring mills, enabling accurate radial milling and circular hole patterns for gear and spline production. These systems serve to deliver mathematically precise incremental or continuous rotation, using features such as hardened worm gears and index plates to achieve vibration-free holding and repeatable results for components like gears, hex profiles and shift shafts. Robust cast-iron mounting plates with standard T-slots allow quick clamping with jaws or dogs, and the option of a tailstock supports long, slender workpieces during machining, while variants range from manual rotary tables to servo-driven CNC indexing units for integrated multi-axis production. Key benefits include improved positional accuracy, enhanced process stability and seamless integration into modern machine workflows.
107mm Tailstock for BS, 134x94mm Base, 4kg - Vertex

The robust 4 kg construction ensures stability during turning operations. Order the tailstock directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our technical team for compatibility advice. Reitstock – Tailstock for BS lathes, 107 mm centre height (Vertex) A Reitstock designed as a tailstock for BS lathes, providing steady axial support for workpieces during turning and light metalworking tasks. Compact 134 x 94 mm base footprint 107 mm centre height for small lathes Robust 4 kg construction for stability Designed for BS lathe series Steady support that improves machining quality The principal role of a tailstock is to provide axial support and reduce deflection during turning; this results in improved surface finish and tighter tolerances. With a centre height of 107 mm, the support point aligns the workpiece concentric to the spindle axis on many compact and benchtop lathes. By stabilising long or slender components during machining, the support device reduces chatter and repeat operations, which translates into fewer rejects and a more efficient production flow. The function is straightforward but essential: steady support yields consistent results. Space-saving footprint eases integration into workshops A base footprint of 134 x 94 mm keeps the unit compact and simple to position on smaller lathe beds where space is at a premium. The modest footprint combined with a robust 4 kg mass helps balance two competing needs: minimal intrusion on the work envelope and sufficient mass for damping vibrations. For workshops that prioritise flexible layout and quick changeovers, the compact design makes the tailstock easy to mount, reposition and store without compromising on the stability required for quality turning operations. Durable assembly built for routine workshop use Designed for regular use in machining tasks, the tailstock is engineered to deliver dependable support across a range of routine turning operations. The relatively low weight contributes to handling ease during setup, while the solid build supports ongoing production demands. Integration into existing equipment is simplified by its dedicated fit for the BS lathe series, enabling predictable behaviour in serial or small-batch manufacturing. The result is a pragmatic addition to any workshop seeking consistent, repeatable workholding without unnecessary complexity.

ECLASS: 36600102 Facts Centre height: 107 mm Base footprint: 134 x 94 mm Weight: 4 kg Special features Suitable for BS lathe series Product type: tailstock Fast dispatch indicated in shop description FAQ Is this tailstock compatible with BS lathes? The Reitstock is specified for the BS lathe series; compatibility depends on bed width and mounting arrangement—refer to the centre height and base footprint for verification. What is the centre height and why is it important? Centre height is 107 mm; it determines how the workpiece axis aligns with the spindle and directly affects concentricity and finish quality during turning. What mounting space is required on the lathe bed? The base footprint is 134 x 94 mm; ensure the lathe bed provides sufficient flat area and clearance for secure placement and any required clamps. How does the tailstock affect machining results? By providing axial support and damping, the tailstock reduces deflection and vibration, which improves surface finish and dimensional repeatability. Is the mass of the unit relevant for stability? At 4 kg, the construction contributes to stability and vibration damping while remaining manageable for positioning and setup.

Achieve exact division and full 360° rotation for complex components
Indexing heads and rotary tables are precision positioners used on milling machines and boring mills to rotate workpieces either in defined angle steps or continuously for radial milling movements. The two device types are separate tools: the indexing heads (also known as indexers or dividing heads) provide mathematically exact indirect division using detent mechanisms or interchangeable hole plates, while the rotary tables (also known as rotary indexing tables or dividing tables) allow stepless rotation over 360° for radius machining and circular hole patterns.
How these positioners deliver process reliability and accuracy
Both systems transfer torque via a robust, backlash-free worm gear, adjustable to deliver positioning in the range of arc minutes and featuring self-locking behaviour for high holding torque. Plates and chucks are machined from grey cast iron to damp vibrations; clamping is effected via standard t-slots for direct fitting of clamps or quick mounting of jaw chucks. For long or slender parts, a matching tailstock provides a stabilising support. The technology spectrum spans manual units and semi-universal indexers right through to servo-driven, machine-control-integrated CNC indexing heads that convert a standard three-axis milling machine into a flexible multi-axis processing centre.
Clear production benefits you can rely on
- Faster set-up and reduced rework through mathematically exact indexing and repeatable positioning
- Vibration damping and stable clamping from grey cast iron construction and standard t-slots
- High holding torque and tool-force resistance via the self-locking worm gear
- Versatile use across operations: radius milling, circular drilling patterns, gear cutting and profile machining
- Scalability from manual indexers to integrated CNC indexing heads for series production

FAQ
What is the difference between an indexing head and a rotary table?
An indexing head provides precise incremental division using detents or hole plates, while a rotary table enables stepless 360° rotation for radial milling and circular drilling patterns. Both tools complement one another in machining centres.
Can these units be used for gear cutting and spline machining?
Yes. Indexing heads and rotary tables are standard tools for gear cutting, multi-spline profiles, hexagonal features and complex shift shafts where exact symmetry and repeatability are required.
How does the worm gear improve machining stability?
The worm gear offers backlash-free transmission, fine positional control down to arc minutes and self-locking properties that deliver high holding torque to resist radial cutting forces without vibration.
Are there solutions for serial production?
Servo-driven CNC indexing heads integrate with machine controls to convert conventional three-axis machines into flexible multi-axis centres suitable for process-secure series production.
