Value Collection BS-0 Semi-universal Dividing Head 2MT

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS-0 is a semi-universal dividing head designed for precision indexing operations on milling machines and similar machine tools. It accepts a 2MT (No. 2 Morse Taper) headstock spindle and features a centerline height of 3.94 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of workpiece sizes. The unit ships as a complete set including the head, index plates, and tailstock, giving machinists everything needed for standard dividing operations. At 52 pounds, the assembly provides the mass and rigidity required for accurate, repeatable angular positioning in both production and toolroom environments.

This dividing head is intended for use in machine shop settings where angular indexing or gear-cutting operations are required. It is suited for both job-shop and toolroom applications, including milling flats, slots, splines, and gear teeth on cylindrical workpieces. The included tailstock supports longer or heavier parts during operations. Machinists working on manual vertical or horizontal mills will find this head compatible with standard T-slot table setups.

Key Features

• 2MT headstock spindle taper for secure tool and workpiece holding
• 3.94-inch centerline height accommodates a practical range of part diameters
• Semi-universal design supports straight and limited helical indexing operations
• Includes head, index plates, and tailstock for a complete dividing setup
• Robust cast construction at 52 pounds provides stability during heavy milling cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit dividing head for manual milling machines equipped with standard T-slot worktables accepting a semi-universal dividing head configuration with a No. 2 Morse Taper spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling machine workholding. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or adjusting the dividing head on the table. Align the unit carefully with the milling machine spindle axis and secure all T-slot bolts evenly before beginning any cutting operation. Verify index plate engagement and locking before each indexed position to prevent workpiece movement.
