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

This was exactly as shown ,shipped fast and worked flawlessly for my project wish i had bought it a long time ago

I set this head up on my drill press to do some round work, it's very accurate and runs smooth. For the cost you can't beat it.

works good

originally i needed a new chuck for my lathe so while shopping i came across the dividing head. my chuck would have been over 1/2 cost of entire dividing head. secondly first day here it was put to work dividing! works great nice piece for my retirement shop

I order this item under mini mill machine and it is not for a mini mill!!! It looks awesome! I will return it!

the product is as described and arrived on time, not used yet so I will update this review after use. First impression is good.

Fine

It seems ok for the money but all the movements were very gritty, after machining they just assembled without any cleaning or deburring then filled it with junk grease and hoped no one would notice, typical of Chinese equipment.EDIT: after deburr cleaning and better lube, it seems of good quality. Runout on the chuck is.003 acceptable but I plan to make it better. Notice the picture of backplate, almost half the surface for mating to the spindle was untouched when machining it. I raised it one star that’s being generous.

Perfect for my little hobby shop! I really appreciate the Great Value here! I certainly can't afford a name brand unit. I'm very happy with it. Thank you! Ron G.

This is a very nice dividing head for the money. Pretty well finished and smooth operating, very little lash in the gearing.If you were thinking to use an ER32 chuck in the headstock taper note that the taper is #2 Morse not #7B&S as stated in the specifications. That is really good news given that the ER32 chuck adapter for #2 Morse is much cheaper than the #7 B&S. They are also available with 10mm drawbar threads so you can eliminate the chance of slipping in the taper.I checked the run-out specifications and found the following: Radial run-out of the spindle nose spec 0.0006" Actual <0.0002" Radial run-out of spindle taper nose spec 0.0008" Actual was about 0.001" Radial run-out of spindle taper hole 4" distant 0.0014" Actual was 0.0025" Radial run-out of test bar with 3-jaw chuck 0.0031" Actual was 0.003"So the specs were pretty close and my measurements might not be perfect. The run-out with the 3-jaw chuck was due the the chuck back-plate (spindle nose locating diameter had <0.0002 TIR). The locating diameter for the chuck had a run-out of 0.0025". That could be corrected by taking a few thousandths off the locating diameter, center the chuck and use the mounting screws to lock it in.
