Customer Reviews for VEVOR BS-0 Dividing Head 5 Inch, Precision Dividing Head Set with 5" 3-jaw Chuck & Tailstock Dividing Plates for Milling Machine

need to mechine the pads to fit mill

As a Tradesman Fitter and Turner I found this to be good quality and great value, everything was as it should be , other more expensive brands would probably last longer if used in thousands of different jobs , however this item will last for most tradesmen and hobby machinist on hundreds of jobs

I bought this fully expecting to have to "tune it", but it's fine right out of the box. Well packed, and coated in oil to prevent rust in transit and storage. The instructions are available off the internet if the enclosed manual is a bit sparse. The box contained all the accessories shown in the images (including chuck jaws, screws, etc) and all appear to be taiwanese quality (that's quite good if you don't know) I wouldn't be surprised to find this made in the vertex factory based on fit and quality. I will still strip it down and clean it before serious use, but first impressions on unwrapping and checking is great.

This is a typical chinesium product, had to be stripped & cleaned, chuck jaws would hardly open when first unpacked had to dismantle & grind metal away to free up the internal circumference of the body. Allow around 2 hours to strip and clean the rough edges on all the parts when dismantled, once this is done the unit worked well. Still good value compared to top line expensive products.

Haven't used it yet but appears to be very good value for the price and arrived on time. Happy purchase.

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.

Perfect size for my small mill. Looks like a copy of the old Brown and Sharp design. Reasonably well made and finished but will benefit from strip down, deburr, thorough wash out, regrease and careful set up. My unit now turns and adjusts in all directions smoothly and easily with no play or tight spots and minimal backlash. Same goes for the chuck. For the price there is nothing else out there to touch it. Ideal purchase for the home shop. Very pleased, great value.

Quite happy with my purchase overall. Just one bizarre thing about it: The graduations starting from 0 to 360 degrees start and end precisely but there is a discrepancy in the values of the graduations. For example if you start on 0 with degrees line and reference lines coinciding exactly and make 10 revs with the alidade, the 2 lines don't coincide on 90 degree position. How they could achieve this while performing the engraving beats me. You just have to rely on alidade and disc combination if accuracy is needed. Don't trust the graduations! Otherwise, excellent value for money and sturdy construction.

Great product, exceeds expectations, received in timely manner and in perfect condition, great transaction, thank you.
