 DIVIDING HEADS

This Universal Index Centre has been designed to carry out

UNIVERSAL DIVIDING HEAD

all types of gear-cutting, precision dividing and spiral work

(except Type BS-0, and BS-1) with greater precision and ef-
ficiency than has been possible before. The centre face can
be tilted from a horizontal position of 90 down to 10 from
vertical, and inclinations can be read off a scale
graduated in degrees. The centre is built to highest
engineering standards and is factory-inspected and tested
to assure complete satisfaction. The ratio of worm to gear
is 1:40.

SIMPLE INDEX

The Simple Index is a heavy-duty base on which is mounted a hardened

SIMPLE INDEX

and ground precision turntable. It can be used in either a horizontal and

vertical position. Using one of the masking plates provided the index can
carry out many dividing functions. Indexing of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 divi-
sions can be rapidly and simply carried out. The specially-made
3-jaw scroll chuck also simplifies the indexing of long workpieces.
Optional equipment: Master indexing plate with 20 or 30 notches can
be supplied to special order. When used with the suitable masking plates
dividing into 2, 4, 5, 10, and 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 are possible.

 SUPERDEX & RAPID INDEX

This index combines the advantages of the Simple Index with

SUPER DEX

those of a worm-geared index. When mounted on a milling,

boring or other machine tool it can carry out single-purpose in-
dexing and indirect indexing using the worm-drive
mechanism. Disengaging the worm drive the 24-notch master
plate permits 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 dividing. When the chuck
is removed the unit can be used as a horizontal and vertical
type rotary table. The operating handle to rotary table worm
gear reduction ratio is 1:90. The operating handle collar is
graduated in minutes, and readings down to ten seconds can
be set on the vernier.
