Dividing Head Set 3 Jaw Lathe Chuck Dividing Head 5 Inch with Tailstock Dividing Plates for Milling Machine 5 inch dividing head

The SHZOND Dividing Head Set is a versatile milling attachment that can also be used as a lathe attachment. It comes with a 3-jaw chuck and dividing plates, making it a useful tool for precision work. One of the standout features of this dividing head set is its build quality. Many parts of the unit have been ground, and overall, it is well-built and sturdy. The indexing unit is tight and precise, making it suitable for projects that require accurate indexing. However, there are some drawbacks to Consider. The face of the chuck is not perfectly perpendicular to the base when the chuck is vertical, requiring shimming to get it close to parallel. The face of the chuck also moves as it rotates, making it difficult to achieve parallelism with the mill table. There may also be some issues with centering the chuck about the axis of rotation. Another downside is the need for some manual work upon receiving the product. One reviewer had to spend 45 minutes removing chips and breaking sharp edges. It would be more convenient if the manufacturer took care of this before shipping the product. Regarding tolerance, if you are on a budget and can work with some degree of tolerance variations, this dividing head set can be a good option. However, if you need to hold tight tolerances, it might be better to invest in a higher-quality product. Overall, the SHZOND Dividing Head Set offers good value for the money, with its sturdy build and reasonable smoothness in rotary motion. With proper shimming and adjustments, it can be an effective tool for precision work.
