BS-0 Precision Dividing Head
MT2 Headstock Taper & Complete Set & Simple Operation
The indexing head doesn't only look great but allows you to do more with your milling machine: measuring specific angles and dividing a circle into equidistant arcs. It comes with 3 interchangeable indexing plates and a tailstock to ensure more precise and stable work. It will be your perfect assistant to machine the flutes of a milling cutter, cut the teeth of a gear, curved mill slots, or drill a bolt hole circle around the circumference of a part.
- Solid Cast Iron Construction
- Adjustable Dividing Head
- High Precision Indexing Plate
- Strong Workpiece Support
Rigid & Durable Body
The indexing head features a long service life due to its rigid quality. It is designed with a mirror finish that resists wear and tear and looks low-profile.
Adjustable Headstock
The dividing head is enabled to tilt from 10° below horizontal to 90° vertical. And that will be convenient if you want to cut the part from a certain angle.
Direct Indexing Plate
By turning the 1st level that extrudes the pin, the pin goes into the plate and you can divide the full circle into 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 divisions. The other level prevents the spindle from vibrating during machining.
More Precise Plates
The high precision performance of the indexing head is achieved with indirect indexing plates A, B, and C. All divisions 2-50 can be done, but some from 51 to 380 cannot be obtained. Check the manual before setting.
Strong MT2 Tailstock
The MT2 tailstock gives strong support to the workpiece being machined. It is particularly useful when the workpiece is relatively long and slender.
Wide Application
The rotary indexer is used on the tables of milling machines and other machine tools including drill presses, grinders, and boring machines.

I recently purchased a Vevor BS 0 Dividing head and I would like to do a review.Quick take -A good buy for about $220 ( with tax). The main body is well made, but the additional work that would make this a $500+ unit are left to the buyer but are easily done.Out of the Box - all parts were present, although one of them should have been scrapped. A carrier had been double drilled and broke out the side. My options with Amazon were to return the unit entirely or contact the manufacturer. I contacted Vevor and received a request for a picture of the damaged part within 24 hours. I sent them a picture and I received an immediate answer that they would send me a replacement.All of the parts needed deburring, A total of about 30 minutes to knock off sharp edges. All of the machining looked good.The tail stock is fine, the dead center was clearly heat treated, but not polished afterward. Some of the bolts are a bit rough - again a touch with a file.The dividing head is impressive in weight, very solid. The index marks are very clear. I tore it down because various YouTube videos said there might be debris inside. There was some, and it was worth doing. I've greased and lubed it. I deburred and stoned the dovetails and it is much smoother. I got the chuck off, it is quite tight, but finally unscrewed ( check You tube videos). I felt that the thrust bearings were too tight, making it very difficult to rotate the spindle. I adjusted them to my satisfaction and checked the runout. Using the provided dead center it was about .0025, but when I used one of mine it was about .0005, quite nice. The three jaw chuck had about .003 runout which I think is ok for a 3 jaw.When I put on the direct index plate, I rotated it so that the 0 mark was on top, and reset the index mark.The indirect plates seem to be fine, but the right and left index arms would slip badly, a very bad thing for a dividing head! I used a file on the back of the arms to remove the residue of sprues left after manufacture. I then sanded the back till it was flat, also filed/sanded the round portion of the arms, until they were flat. They now are quite secure.Hope this helps anyone trying to make a decision.

As described, very well built, much heavier than described. Extremely pleased.

This dividing head is not a bad deal for the price point when compared to other brands in this size range. The accuracy of this is OK for the hobbyist that is not working within very tight tolerances, it is out of tolerance 1 degree in it's 360 degree rotation. When received it is highly recommended that it be disassembled and CLEANED! The worm gear for the head rotation is very sticky and has what appears to grit/fine sand/lapping compound mixed with the grease ... not sure for the reason of this?! The rotation pin/locating handle was stuck and somewhat rusty inside and had to be disassembled and cleaned to make functional. The manual that comes with this is mostly worthless with the exception of the indexing charts in the back! With this being said it is not a bad tool for the cost and will make a very good cost effective tool for someone that is desiring to learn how to use this type of tool without the cost of one that is three times the price.

I've spent two days cleaning, deburring and adjusting this thing. Depending on how valuable your time is, or if you actually have to make money with this, it may not be for you. I'm retired and equipping a hobby machine shop, so making this into a useful tool is interesting and educational for me.The quality of machining is generally good, but QC is virtually nonexistent. I completely tore it down and cleaned out all the factory grease, which left me with a pan full of grinding grit (but very few metal shavings). I'm stoning surfaces and deburring and chamfering sharp edges as I reassemble the head, and oiling and greasing where appropriate. Some of the screws are very poor quality, so I will be replacing them.The engraving on the fixed indexing plate is off by a full degree at 180, but at least the holes appear to be reasonably accurate. The ball on the end of the worm shaft was so soft it had already developed a flat spot, so I'll be replacing it with a hardened bearing ball. I added a washer to the eccentric clamping screw, making it quite a bit easier to adjust the worm.The included chuck was a Sandu (reject?). The logo was partially ground off, and it had a runout of 0.009" with a 1/2" rod chucked in it. It was also full of grinding grit and operates much more smoothly when cleaned and re-greased. My excellent 1946 Logan lathe has a 1-1/2 x 8 spindle nose, so I installed the chuck and re-ground the jaws, but the best runout I could get was still 0.003". Not exactly horrible for a cheap 3-jaw, but not great either.P.S. The "spring" that tensions the sectors against the indexing plate is a joke. I bought some bowed side-mount external retaining rings (98398A155) from McMaster-Carr and deepened the groove on the worm shaft to 0.675" (about 0.02"). With it snapped in the sectors are properly tensioned against the plate and feel like they should. I also replaced the cheap screws holding the indexing plates with some good black oxide flathead allen screws (also from McMaster). I had to chase the badly tapered threads in the spindle nose cap too, to get it to even thread on. Like the title says, it's a kit, but the only thing that couldn't be fixed was the distorted degree markings etched on the front plate that are out a full degree at 180.

The order arrived early, , "great" , chuck key was missing and so were the reverse jaws for the chuck "NOT SO GREAT" not sure how to get this rectified other than this review. I cannot find an avenue to contact anyone. The locking handle for the main spindle is mild steel with an M6 thread (wont last long) I replaced it with an 8.8 grade bolt and sleeve. The rest of the unit is fine for the purpose mechanism seems smooth enough. If all the parts were there It would not have been worth the commet
